It’s usually Hamza Ali Abbasi who has been outspoken about it and we entirely support him.”
While a strain is not anti-India, it is a thoughtfulness on a charitable predicament of Kashmir. “It should be remarkable that a strain is not anti-India. We have a charitable emanate going on in Kashmir and we need to speak about it,” settled Jaswal.

Soon after, my publicist called me and asked what we had done. we pronounced nothing. we came to know that hundreds of my Indian fans had unliked a page since of this picture. It’s unequivocally unhappy since people on both sides have been brainwashed. You can’t contend millions of people on possibly side are terrorists. As artists, we don’t wish war. With this song, we are anticipating to contend that.”
Jaswal has not suspicion of a name for a strain yet. “We have not motionless a pretension nonetheless though we are job it Kashmir Anthem as of now. We wish it to be a general anthem of humanity,” mentioned Jaswal.
The singular will be expelled in dual weeks and a video will follow shortly after. “We are coming a best film-makers for this video as this emanate is really critical and we wish to benefaction it a right way.”
