Few days back, music director Aadesh Shrivastava lambasted Adnan Sami in front of everybody at singer Richa Sharma's birthday party held at BJN Banquets, Mumbai.

He insulted him calling him a non-singer and claiming he had no right to be in the Indian music industry. While we thought that matter was closed that night itself, the whole thing is now taking a very serious turn what with Aadesh hell bent on kicking Adnan Sami out of India.

About the recent turn of events, Aadesh states, "I am the Vice President of the Cine Music Director's Association and a man of strong principles. Adnan has utter disrespect for Indian laws and regulations. If he wants to give music to Indian films he should respect the laws of our country. He has no right to work in India.

"People like him who come from Pakistan are ready to work here even at peanut rates because they get a global platform. But do you ever see them lauding our nation and its people for that who give them this opportunity at the first place? Do they buy any properties here? They send the entire money back to their country. Also, if he is so desperate to work in India then why doesn't he posses the required legal documents.

"Whenever someone tries to stop people like him to work here, we face oppositions and political pressures. I have gone to USA and worked there but I had to follow the laws of that country. My activities on any country's land depend on whether I have a work or business or tourist visa or permit. When we have such laws existing here and people like Adnan making a mockery out of it how can I remain quiet?"

About his next plan of action, Aadesh states, "I along with other music association members have started a crusade to inform each and every single filmmaker that a music composer or singer must be registered with their respective associations and if they are not then they won't be allowed in their projects."

Aadesh claims it to be nothing personal against Adnan and adds, "Why should we welcome Pakistani singers and musicians here? Does their nation give visas to our living legends like Lata Mangeshkar, Javed Akhtarsaab and Jagjit Singhji? So why ignore the phenomenal talent that already exists in our country and NRIs." -Sampurn
