Leading singer Abrar-ul-Haq has announced that if well-known Indian filmmaker Karan Johar and other actors use the slogan 'Independence of Kashmir', they will give him their song 'Nach Punjaban Nach' as a gift.
Ibrahim made the announcement after Indian filmmaker Kiran Johar stole his song and included it in the upcoming film 'Jag Jag Geo'.
Speaking to a local journalist, Abrar-ul-Haq lamented that his song was stolen by Indian filmmakers and at the same time said that his third or fourth song had been stolen.
The singer said that in the past when his songs were stolen, he was very happy that Indians stole his song and included it in the film but now that digital media is in vogue and Indians have lost billions from his songs. Making money is unacceptable.
He said that people of Bollywood earn billions of rupees by spending billions of rupees on movies but they do not have creativity, they do not have good music composers.
