"Very recently FWICE got to know that renowned singer Mr Diljit Dosanjh was to perform in an event in USA on Sept 21st at the invitation of Mr Rehan Siddiqi a Pakistani National. "Back to the tensions prevailing with our neighbours, more so after abrogation of Article 370, FWICE which holds the dignity of our country as paramountly important, has time and again informed the members of the film fraternity to abstain from associating with a Pakistani National in any platform of cultural or professional activities in Pakistan or in any part of the world," the letter stated. The letter which states that the organisation "holds the dignity of our country as paramountly important" comes in the wake of the recent abrogation of Article 370 in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The FWICE which is the mother body of more than 32 affiliates has warned the singers to cancel their show named `Throwback 90`s` which is scheduled to take place on 17 November. "It has been very special that here, in the land of the great Nelson Mandela who preached unity of the world, and when we are celebrating the 150th birth anniversary year of Mahatma Gandhi, who did the same, we got together the three greatest singers together in South Africa," Osman said.Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has penned letter to singers Alka Yagnik, Kumar Sanu and Udit Narayan urging them not cancel their participation in a show scheduled in Dallas, US, citing that it has been organised by a Pakistani national. The event was organised by local couple Osman and Shaista Osman. Narayan said he was amazed at the reaction of the audience to Bollywood music. "It has been a special privilege to perform alongside two legends of the industry," she added. "We have been at events together in the past, but have never sung together at the same show," Yagnik said. Over 5,000 Bollywood music admirers attended the event in Pretoria in Gauteng province in South Africa Saturday night. Renowned Indian playback singers Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan thrilled an audience with Bollywood numbers as they appeared together on stage for the first time ever at an event in South Africa.
