#AtifAslamNotWelcome, #IndiaLovesAtifAslam and #WeWantAtifAslamSongsBack have been trending all day today, Thursday after his version of the song Kinna Sona was pulled down by T-Series, 2 days after its release.
T-series YouTube channel went through a lot of backlash as Indians threatened and demanded his song, from the Indian movie ‘Marjaavan’, to be removed as soon as possible. And were asked to issue an apology.
Marjaavan stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tara Sutaria in lead roles.
The action was criticized because Pakistani artists are barred to work in the Indian industry after the decision imposed by Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA).
Ameya Khokar, president of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) Cinema Wing put up a mean and hostile tweet warning and threatening the T-Series- the tweet said; “WARNING TO TSERIES Take down Pakistani singer Atif-Aslam song from your T–Series YouTube channel immediately else we will take a major action against you”.

“We condemn our mistake and apologise for the same. We assure you that henceforth we will neither release, nor promote the song on any platform of T-Series. Meanwhile, we are removing the said song from our YouTube channel. We also assure you that henceforth we will not be releasing or promoting work by any Pakistani artistes.”

Listen to Akhil Sachdeva song “sunn mere humsafar” from Badrinath ki dulhania. You’ll forget Atif Aslam. In India we have talents we don’t need outsiders. Let Atif keep singing for his country may be his voice open up their minds towards peace. pic.twitter.com/NgYo9UoWxs— Pavan Kale🇮🇳 (@PavanKa89367481) June 24, 2020

Atif Aslam has been part of the Indian music industry for a long time now. And no Indian movie is complete without atleast one serenade by the artist.
Movies such as Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kismet Konnection, Zehar, Student of the Year, Race 2& 3, all had Atif Aslam songs in them.
There are Indian movies that had more than five songs of Atif at one time. People not only in Pakistan but India too absolutely adore Atif’s melodious voice.
