Rebuking Mika for putting money above the nation's interest, particularly at a time when tension between the South Asian neighbours is at its peak, the association's statement says, "AICWA workers will make sure that no one in India works with Mika Singh, and if anyone does, they will face legal consequences in the court of law."
Mika and his team were granted visa for 30 days to perform to perform in three Pakistani cities- Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
