Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya has supported the ban of Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali from performing in Mumbai. In a series of shocking tweets, Abhijeet has said the ‘nation and patriotism’ took priority over music and branded the ghazal maestro as a ‘dengue artist’.
This is what Abhijeet tweeted:
The singer’s remarks have not only sent shockwaves but was fully backed and welcomed by Shiv Sena.
