New Delhi:
Renowned Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali's concert that was scheduled in Delhi on November 8 has been postponed, say reports.
The singer cited personal reasons behind the cancellation of the event.
The Delhi government had invited the ghazal maestro to perform in Delhi after the cancellation of his Mumbai programme following threats by Shiv Sena.
In October, the 75-year-old singer was scheduled to perform in Mumbai and Pune as a tribute to late singer Jagjit Singh on his death anniversary. But the show in Mumbai was called off on October 7, after the threats from Shiv Sena. (Also Read: 'Not Angry, Very Hurt' Says Pak Singer Ghulam Ali as Concert Cancelled After Sena Threat)
Shiv Sena had reportedly threatened to disrupt the maestro's show in Delhi as well.
However, the Aam Aadmi Party government had said that it would put together all resources and post AAP volunteers for additional security to ensure that the concert happens.
