Just a few days before the Pakistani Ghazal maestro, Ghulam Ali was scheduled to perform in national capital, his concert has been cancelled according to reports.
Ghulam Ali was given an invitation to perform in Delhi by the Aam Aadmi Party government after the cancellation of his Mumbai programme. The concert in the national capital was scheduled to be held on November 8.
Soon after the date for Delhi concert was announced, Shiv Sena had issued an ultimatum for Delhi, saying that it will not allow the concert to take place. The Delhi government however had said that it would put together all resources for security to ensure the concert happens.
Earlier, on October 9 Ali was scheduled to perform at Mumbai’s Shanmukhananda hall but his concert was cancelled following threats from Shiv Sena party workers.
However, the legendary singer will participate at Lucknow Mahostav starting November 25. He will perform on Ghazal night on December 3. Ali was invited by Chief Minster Akhilesh Yadav to perform at the 10-day event.
