Sena to protest at Pak singer Ghulam Ali’s show

Mumbai: Shiv Sena today threatened to stage a protest during the performance of leading Pakistan singer Ghulam Ali at Shanmughananda Hall here on October 9, holding will oppose cultural and sporting relations with the neighbouring country so long as it refused to curb terrorism.
In a letter to the management of the Shamughananda Hall, Shiv Sena's film wing "Chitrapat Sena" said if it went ahead with the programme featuring the artist from Pakistan they would have to face the "anger of Shiv Sena and the patriotic people."
"Through this letter, we want to convey to you that if you invite Pakistan artist to the show you will have to face the Shiv Sena's wrath… Which is why we ask you to prohibit the Pakistan artist from coming to the programme, or else you will have to face the anger of Shiv Sena's and the patriotic people of the country," Chitrapat Sena Vibhag Pramukh Mangesh Satamkar said in his letter.
He said it has been a long standing stand of Shiv Sena that until the neighbouring country stopped terrorism activities there should be no cultural, sporting and political relations with Pakistan.(PTI)
