Ban Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan for being Pakistanis, says Bollywood singer
Babul Supriyo said that banning Pakistani artists is Bollywood's national responsibilityMUMBAI: Singer-turned-Indian minister Babul Supriyo says Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice in a song that features in Bollywood film Welcome To New York, must be removed and dubbed by someone else. Supriyo said India has no problems with either Atif or Rahat. Supriyo said, “Atif as an artist sounds great in Dil Diya Gallan and Rahat is a great singer too. But it’s important to clarify that our problem is not with the artists Atif or Rahat, but with their Pakistani nationality. It represents India worldwide, hence banning Pakistani artists in Indian films would have also taken the protest against organised terrorism by the rogue nation, worldwide.
