In the letter, Aggarwal requested that the PM take into account the sacrifices made by Indian soldiers and make a decision once and for all.
The demands were expressed through a letter from the IMPPA president T P Aggarwal directly to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In March 2018, IMPPA demaned a ban on work permits to all Pakistani artists. Several prominent Pakistani singers like Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Atif Aslam faced the brunt of the govt's decision as their concerts got cancelled.
The ban also affected the music industry. The party had issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Pakistani artistes and actors including Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan and Ali Zafar, to leave India or else they would be “pushed out”.īut actors weren't the only ones who were targeted. IMPPA’s statement came ater the threats issued by Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena. The organisation’s president, TP Aggarwal went further ahead and said Pakistanis would be banned “for ever”, and asked the Indian government to boot them from the country. And, inevitably, politics has always managed to intrude the other way.Īfter the URI attacks in September 2016, the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association banned Pakistani artists and technicians from working in Bollywood "until normalcy returns". The line between art and politics in India has always been blurry.
