Aching to hear Ghulam Ali's melodies? Catch his famous songs on FM tonight

After Pakistani singer Ghulam Ali's Mumbai concert was cancelled following Shiv Sena's threat to disrupt to the show, a well known Delhi radio channel is set to pay tribute to him by playing his famous songs.

Hits by the maestro such as 'Chupke chupke raat din', 'Hangama hai kyon barpa', 'Teri yaad yaad yaad' and 'Hum tere shahar mein' are expected to be played at the FM channel.

Ali was to perform on Friday at Mumbai's Shanmukhananda Hall but the organisers cancelled the show after a meeting with Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray. The party had threatened to disrupt the concert, warning that no artiste from Pakistan will be allowed to perform in the city till terror emanating from across the border is stopped. 

"It is very, very sad. I am a little worried also. I came to know about it (the cancellation) after I came here. But more than me, my fans are disheartened as they were waiting for it. But I will keep coming because I love my fans. Future mein bhi ate rahenge. Jab bhi mahaul accha hoga to ayenge.Agar mahaul accha na ho to dil nahi lagta," Ali has said.

When asked about the invites extended to him by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and West Bengal CM Mamta Banerjee to come and perform after the Mumbai fiasco, Ali said he is not in the frame of mind to perform right now.

The 74-year-old singer, who has followers on both sides of the border, says he came to know about the scrapping of the concert which was to mark his close friend Jagjit Singh's death anniversary. Ali is currently in Delhi but plans to catch an early morning flight on Friday for Pakistan.
