Mika Singh Apologizes For Performing In Pakistan Amidst Growing Tensions Between India & Pak
Mika Singh was recently banned by the AICWA & FWICE for performing in Pakistan amid growing tensions between India & Pakistan. The singer has now written an apology letter.
Singer
Mika
Singh
recently
landed
in
trouble
for
performing
at
the
wedding
at
the
daughter
of
a
close
associate
of
former
Pakistani
president,
Pervez
Musharraf.
The
timing
of
this
performance
is
what
got
him
into
trouble
because
the
Indian
government
had
just
decided
to
abrogate
Article
370
of
the
India
constitution
which
gave
special
rights
to
the
state
of
Jammu
&
Kashmir.
After
the
Federation
of
Western
India
Cine
Employees
(FWICE),
and
the
All
India
Cine
Workers
Association
(AICWA)
decided
to
boycott
Mika
and
place
a
ban
on
him,
the
singer
has
decided
to
apologize
for
his
actions.
FWICE
president,
BN
Tiwari
posted
a
video
on
Twitter
where
he
acknowledged
having
received
a
letter
of
apology
from
Mika
Singh.
He
said,
"In
the
letter,
he
(Mika)
said
he
would
accept
everything
mentioned
by
the
federation
had
he
made
a
mistake
and
will
also
apologise
to
the
entire
nation."
On
August
8th,
reports
had
started
circulating
that
Mika
Singh
has
performed
at
this
particular
wedding
in
Karachi,
amid
tension
between
India
and
Pakistan.
After
the
said
organizations
took
offence
to
this
and
decided
to
ban
him,
Mika
wrote
an
apology
letter
which
read,
"I
being
a
part
of
the
above
mentioned
association
myself
I
would
request
everyone
and
the
association
to
wait
for
my
official
press
conference
which
I
will
conduct
with
taking
the
association
in
confidence
and
prove
that
what
I
have
done
was
not
intended
to
hurt
any
of
my
fellow
Indians.
I
humbly
request
not
to
take
any
action
against
me
till
I
do
my
clarification
and
if
I
have
hurt
any
of
my
fellow
Indians
knowingly
or
unknowingly
I
humbly
apologise
to
the
whole
country."
Mika
also
tweeted
the
video
of
BN
Tiwari,
and
wrote
this
on
his
Twitter
handle
-
"I
would
like
to
sincerely
thank
Mr.
BN
Tiwari
and
#FWICE
for
being
so
understanding
towards
me
and
my
sentiments.
As
I
always
have
done,
I
will
continue
to
do
good
for
my
society
and
the
people
of
my
Country.
JaiHind...#Supportindiansingers
