People like Abhijeet will turn India into another Pakistan. India is a free country and banning a musician/singer like Adnan Sami sends the wrong signal about India's democracy.

Aryan, India is a free country for ppl who understand Freedom and democracy and not for ppl who are part of a country that *ahem* has one of its major exports as Global JIHAD (or Jehad whatever you may call it). You are missing the whole point here. Banning Pakistani artists is not what Abhijeet (and even Jagjit Singh etc.) called for. He only requested parity in treatments. Why is it that India allows artists from other countries to perform in their country ? The reason is that, those countries also have a quid-pro-quo service vis-a-vis India. However that facility is not there when it comes with Pakistan, and hence all the more reason that the comity of Indians and Indian musicians and others should raise their voice against this and hopefully achieve what they have set out to achieve. If banning Pakistani artists is a means then it should be utilized to achiev the goal !

sknath, I don't know if you would feel the same if Adnan was a Hindu from Pakistan...this of course boils down to discrimination based on nationality/religion. I cannot approve of any such discrimination, no matter how anyone justifies it. I'd rather that Nadeem be thrown out of the country along with any projects he has signed:-) Of course, on the grounds of the lack of talent:-)

I knew this often clichéd statement would arise "about-muslim-from-Pak"... but of cos guys thats ur supposition ! Pray tell me where did he state anywhere that "do not allow muslims from Pak to perform in India ?"... He speaks for Pakistan and he means Pakistan as a whole...

Izzy wrong attuitude... You cannot eat ur cake and also have it. If your country wants the benefits of a large market (India) by sending their artists, then you should also allow access to your markets for Indian artists...

I hope the Govt. of India does something abt this soon :) Its high time something is done !

I do not understand your sentiments or logic here. Lets call a spade a spade. If Pakistan can discourge Indian artistes from performing there why shouldn't India be allowed to do the same?. It is the democratic thing

pathetic thread with pathetic comments by racist maniac sk..

What bullshit is this Indians pay Adnan, Adnan pays Pakistan, Pakistan pays Terrorist Groups, Terrorists group Kill Indians.. What a stupid catch 22 situation

wat planet are u on!! You know wat, im just sick of hearing the same old cliched comment by every patriotic indian... "Pakistan is sponsering cross border terrorism" (in the "ya-ya-bud-bud" indian style).. gimme a break guys.. I think pakistan would rather spend money on creating nukes and improving missile technology to bomb india than sponser a bunch of radicals who go round killing a handful of people every week.. give me a break!!

As for adnan, guy is a sellout, dont think he`ll be welcome in pakistan anyway.... that is a guy who needs a major reality check.. fat twat!!

No thread is worthwhile without a dash of bravado by our dear old faddy.

As for my "racist" comments Faddy (Truth hurts... eh :tounge: ) , that is precisely, what Abhijeet and others have stated, alebit in hyperboles !

If you are forgetting, Bollywood has itself depicted this scenario in one of its films...

Remember Sarfarosh... The character essayed by Naseeruddin Shah ! ( An ISI agent in the garb of a Ghazal Singer.. humming songs like Hoshwalon ko kya khaber bekhudi kya hai :D ).. Films magazines, at that time, were speculating that character was based on Ghulam Ali ! :ohyeh: :tounge:

Now ABHI JEETU wants to go WEST:

PAK MUST OPEN TO INDIAN SINGERS

A group of Indian singers and filmmakers have questioned why the Indian Government is rolling out the red carpet for Pakistani singers when Indians are not welcome across the border. Among these artistes are Abhijeet, Rajeswari (daughter of Lakhsmikant of the Pyarelal duo), Anup Jalota, filmmaker Shakti Samant and Azad Kamal. They have addressed letters to the Prime Minister and Information and Broadcasting, Defence and Home Ministries, seeking from them a patient hearing.

Artistes have demanded equal treatment from their counterparts. ''Pakistanis love popular Indian music and the singers who render them. But the problem is I am not welcome in Pakistan,'' says Abhijeet (singer). He points out how ghazal singer Jagjit Singh was asked to leave before a performance in Pakistan and how Lata Mangeshkar has never been issued an invitation. "Why are we falling flat in welcoming them,'' questions Abhijeet. This group says they are trying to impress upon the Government to persuade Pakistan to open its doors to them, to perform and cut records. Abhijeet says, ''we offer them the best hospitality. This is, when Indians are banned in Pakistan. As a singer, I want to highlight the dual policies being followed by the two countries.''

Jalota says wishes Prime Minister Vajpayee to ask President Musharraf to reverse his anti-India policy. ''Ghulam Ali and Mehdi Hassan should inform their President about the treatment meted out to Indian artistes,'' adds Jalota. Samant is more critical and says, ''Their singers are collecting money from performances and record sales while we are denied that. If our artistes want to shoot there, they should be allowed to do so. Lata was never invited while Noor Jehan came and was followed by others.''

Hmmmm

Jagjit Singh and Abhijeet met Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani on April 3 to demand the government ban Pakistani singers from performing in India.

"We had an hour-long chat with the deputy prime minister and he listened to us attentively. Advaniji told us he was not aware of some of the facts we had brought to his knowledge. His response was positive," the two singers later claimed at a hurriedly summoned press conference at The Press Club of India, New Delhi.

Singh, who was conferred the Padma Vibhushan by President A P J Abdul Kalam, said it was a matter of deep regret that Indian singers like Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle were not invited to perform in Pakistan while Pakistani singers come to India and earn fame and money.

"The Indian high commission in Pakistan invited me for the Republic Day celebrations in 1980. That was the only time I performed there. An ISI [Inter Services Intelligence] agent kept an eye on us and, after 15 days, we were told to pack up and leave. It was only when I was leaving Pakistan that I realised the man was a senior ISI officer -- everyone saluted him when he came to see me off," Singh added.

While Pakistan-sponsored terrorists were gunning down innocents in Kashmir and carrying out massacres, he said Indian television channels were busy airing songs of Pakistani singers.

Abhijeet drew attention to 'a singer from Pakistan' who was minting money in India. No one seems to be concerned about that, he claimed. "Income tax officials raid the houses of top film stars and harass them. Nobody has asked this singer even once where the money is coming from and how much he paid those who have made so-called friendly appearances in his video albums. The video albums are being funded from across the border."

He added if the government could ban cricketing ties between India and Pakistan because it would hurt the sentiments of soldiers, cultural exchange programmes should also be discontinued till Indian singers are allowed to perform in Pakistan.

The two singers were supported by Vijay Kumar Malhotra, the government's official spokesperson in Parliament, who told rediff.com, "If we can stop playing cricket with Pakistan on emotional grounds, because Pakistan has been sponsoring terrorism from across the border, we should also stop our cultural links with Pakistan."
