Singer Mika Singh recently created an outrage on social media after he performed in Karachi, Pakistan. The singer was captured singing at the festivities of the daughter of former President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf's close relative and the video had gone viral. What followed was the Federation of Western India Cine Employees’ (FWICE) decision to ban him from playback singing, giving public performances and acting in the country. The FWICE, the mother body of all 24 crafts of filmmaking, on Wednesday, had issued a statement saying that it was deeply pained by the performance of singer Mika Singh alias Amrik Singh at the wedding of the daughter of former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's cousin in Karachi, amid tension and broken relations between India and Pakistan.

Now, on Sunday, Mika Singh said that he will continue to do good for India despite the decision of FWICE to ban him from playback singing, giving public performances and acting in the country. The singer will meet the officials of FWICE on Tuesday, and a final call will be taken on the decision to ban the singer. Mika also took to Twitter to share a video of the President of FWICE B.N. Tiwari, in which the latter mentions that he received a letter from Mika. Mika captioned the video as, “I would like to sincerely thank Mr. B.N.

JaiHind.. #Supportindiansingers #Banpaksitanisingers."
