Pakistani music lovers were in for a shocking surprise when it was announced by Global Indian Music Awards (GIMA) that sufi-rock Pakistani band, Mekaal Hasan Band’s (MHB) albumAndholanwasdisqualifiedfrom the Best Rock Album category owing to its "foreign origins".

The news comes in just a week after it was announced by the platform that the album, which is a joint effort of MHB and Indian vocalist Sharmistha Chatterjee, had been nominated in the awards.

The decision also comes as a shock to the band who is confused about GIMA's reasons for dropping out the album.

Don't buy the jingo-ism. Tension between India and Pak, is largely created so both countries keep buying arms! You know who's selling!— VISHAL DADLANI (@VishalDadlani) February 12, 2015

Awwwww.... chooo chweeet.

 

[Otocal]

Vishal Dadlani should queue up outside Pakistan embassy for permanent residence along with the other 67 AAP MLA's

If you Pakis refuse them prepare for another 1971. We won't take prisoners this time only territory

I expect a dharna from AAP soon. Delhi will receive full time entertainment in next 5 years.

My view is I have no problem with Pakistani actresses or music bands. Some of their music is actually pretty good.

My views on AAP and Kejri Baal are pretty clear and open.

And its really no secret that of 1.25 billion, we will have some really rotten apples within. Some of which are present on this forum itself. No problem. They can only survive in the anonymity of the Internet. That too not for long (big Indian brother is definitely watching).

In real life, the process of weeding out these bad apples is already underway, and will only gain momentum in the time to come.

We want a Swacch Bharat. Free of gandagi. In every way.
