“Mahesh Bhatt family’s Pakistan links should be investigated”

Bollywood singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, known as the voice behind some of Hindi cinema’s most memorable songs, including ‘Main koi aisa geet gaoon’ and ‘Badi Mushkil Hai,’ has demanded that Mahesh Bhatt family should be looked up by the cops for their Pakistan link.

Abhijit in his recent interview with the Times of India said, “years ago, I had protested about Mahesh Bhatt and his soft corner for Pakistan. But nobody took notice. And see what’s happening now. I want to know why a thorough investigation hasn’t being carried out against the whole Bhatt family? How come no one else in the industry had any connections with US terror suspect David Headley except the Bhatt family? Why do they call Pakistani singers and actors to work in India when we have so much talent here? Both the brothers, Mahesh and Mukesh themselves travel to Delhi and personally get the visas of Pakistani artists made. Why?”

“You get besura singers from Pakistan to sing your songs when our country is bursting at its seams with talent. People praise Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice but have they heard Sukhwinder Singh? There’s no better singer than Sukhwinder. And the irony is that it’s hardly been a year since 26/11 and already songs of two Pakistani singers, Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, are topping the Indian music charts,” he added.
