The association also sought the intervention of Information and Broadcasting ministry in the matter. Meanwhile the Federation of Western India Cine Employees backed AICWA’s decision saying that this was a dejected practice by the singer.

 

“We are deeply pained & anguished by the performance of singer Mika Singh alias Amrik Singh at the wedding of former President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf’s cousin’s daughter in Karachi, Pakistan”, FWICE said in the statement.

 

“We at FWICE have zero tolerance for such acts and unanimously condemn it as anti-national and totally ban Mika Singh and the 14 crew members who participated in the presentation from any performance, recording, playback, singing, acting in India”, it added.
