Union Minister Babul Supriyo on Wednesday allegedly said that the West Bengal police has threatened singer Shaan of cancelling the licence of his Asansol show if he attends it. In a series of tweets he said:
(1/2) मैं ये बताना चाहूँगा की मैंने @singer_shaan को मीडिया से इस बारे में बात करने से मना किया था। मैंने अपने बॉलीवुड के संगी साथियों को 2014 के चुनाव प्रचार में शामिल नहीं किया था और न ही आगे कभी करूँगा। @BJP4Bengal pic.twitter.com/HiR9I4cF2y

(2/2) अगर कभी मैंने उनको आमंत्रित किया भी तो वो सिर्फ आसनसोल वासियों में प्यार बांटने और उनके मनोरंजन हेतु करूँगा। @BJP4Bengal @bjymwb @abpanandatv pic.twitter.com/lKXmjyu2BV

Shaan and another singer KK were in Asansol for a concert ‘No 1 Yaari’. Supriyo was on his way to Asansol but returned to Kolkata from Durgapur saying he didn’t want the West Bengal police to spoil KK and Shan’s show.
