Raj Thackeray gives go-ahead to musical reality show 'Sur Kshetra'
MNS chief Raj Thackeray
on Thursday made a U-turn and gave his go-ahead to musical reality show 'Sur
Kshetra', featuring upcoming singers from India and Pakistan. Thackeray, who
had earlier objected to the show, relented after a meeting with the show's
producers in Mumbai today.
The MNS chief had earlier opposed Asha Bhosle's participation in the music reality show which will go on air on September 8. "Ashatai says she is into music and as such, she doesn't understand the nuances of politics. However, as a responsible citizen, she should understand the magnitude of cross-border terrorism which is tearing India apart. There is no need for an artiste of the calibre and status of Ashatai to collaborate with Pakistani vocalists,'' he added.
Thackeray had urged the Pakistani artistes who are slated to participate in the TV show to publicly condemn the Pak-sponsored violence in India and Mumbai. "Don't come here only to make money. The Pakistani singers should come out in the open and denounce Pakistan for its role in perpetrating violence on India,'' he had said.
