The decision was taken after political party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) asked the music makers to take down these songs sung by the singers from the neighbouring country. Amey Khopkar, head of the MNS Chitrapat Sena told PTI, "We have verbally communicated to Indian music companies like T-Series, Sony Music, Venus, Tips Music etc to not work with Pakistani singers. These companies should stop it immediately or we will take action in our own style."
