According to Firstpost, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena had asked music companies to stop working with Pakistani singers after which Atif Aslam's single 'Baarishein' was unlisted from T-series's YouTube Channel. It also removed a new single by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
Important step. All India Cine Workers Association announces a total ban on Pakistani actors and artists working in the film industry. There can be no cultural exchanges while our soldiers fall. Cinema, art, cricket- no people to people contact. #PulwamaTerrorAttack
