I am Ghulam Ali’s fan, opposition to art not proper, says Gadkari

As a controversy rages on the cancellation of Pakistani singer Ghulam Ail’s concert in Mumbai, Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said he is a fan of the ghazal singer and any opposition to art is “not proper”.

Stating that Pakistan has been indulging in a proxy war with India, Gadkari said there is anguish among people, “but opposition should be of the Pakistan government and not of the art”.  “I am also a fan of Ghulam Ali. I listen to music daily. This (opposition to Pakistan) should not be dragged to the level of artist. Opposition of Pakistan is right but not of Ghulam Ali. This is not proper and I think we should think over it,” he said.
