The Uttar Pradesh unit of the Shiv Sena on Friday threatened to disrupt the scheduled concert of Pakistani ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali on December 3 during the Lucknow Mahotsav.
The Sena said if the state government did not want to invite any untoward incident during the Lucknow festival, it should desist from allowing Ghulam Ali to perform.
“If Ghulam Ali somehow manages to reach here to perform at the Lucknow Mahotsav as scheduled on December 3, we will make things worse for him than what was done with Sudheendra Kulkarni in Mumbai,” state Sena chief Anil Singh said. He said the Sena has always staunchly opposed Pakistani artistes performing in India, and Ali certainly would not be an exception.
Sena activists had smeared ink on Kulkarni’s face before the launch of former Pakistan foreign minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri's book last month.
