Sonu Nigam is popular not just in India but abroad too. Rajender Singh Pahl, the cousin of BMC Mumbai Chief Iqbal Singh Chahal, reached out to Sonu via WhatsApp and asked him if he would do a show abroad.

Rajender Issues Clarification

Mr Rajender, in a statement, denied Sonu’s claims. “The difference emerged between Mr Sonu Nigam and Mr Rajender Singh, as Mr Singh resisted working with one person referred to as Rocky and Mr Rehan Siddiqui recommended by Mr Nigam to perform at a concert overseas. Mr Rakesh Kaushal (alias Rocky) and Mr Rehan Siddiqui have been banned by the Ministry of State for Home Affairs, Govt of India,” read the statement.

Mr Rajender clarified that he resisted working with Mr Kaushal because they were ‘anti-nationals’. “The duo have been known for malpractices and supporting Pakistan-based terror groups as reported earlier in media. They are blacklisted based on recommendations of the Consulate General of India. It is against the ethics of Mr. Rajender Singh Pahl to work with Anti-Nationals. He will not work with anti-nationals even if they agree to work for free,” the statement read.
