A Shiv Sena delegation will meet Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik over Pakistani ghazal maestro's concert in Lucknow and convey to him that the performance was an insult to Indian martyrs.
"The wounds from Pathankot are still fresh and the UP Government has rolled out a red carpet to welcome Ghulam Ali. This is an insult to the martyrs and it is hurting the sentiments of the entire Hindu community," Shiv Sena's UP Chief Anil Singh told ANI here.
He demanded that Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav call off the concert immediately as it was an insult to the faith of crores of Hindus.
"The Shiv Sena leaders will meet the Governor tomorrow and protest about this. We will keep protesting against this until he leaves," Singh added.
Meanwhile, Anil Singh has been put under house arrest ahead of Ghulam Ali's concert in Lucknow.
