After Ghulam Ali, Sena demands cancellation of ex-Pak minister's book

October 10, 2015 20:12

After ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali, Shiv Sena has asked the management of a Mumbai-based convention centre to call off former Pakistani Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri's book launch function. Citing the neighbouring country's support to terrorism as the reason behind the opposition, the party warned that the function will be disrupted if not canceled. Sena vibhag pramukh Ashish Chemburkar submitted a letter to director of Nehru Planetarium, demanding that the event be cancelled and organisers informed accordingly.

"The people at Nehru Planetarium where the event is scheduled, told us they will try to cancel it," Chemburkar said, "We have informed them that we will disrupt the event if it is not canceled."
