Anupam Kher said, ' I am very upset, I was thinking further to take part in the program and wanted to use the stage there. He said, 'we welcome there artist, if in India he is criticise at one place then on the other place he is welcomed also.' Kher said, “I wish I knew. I am wondering if it is because I am a Kashmiri Pandit or because of my views on the tolerance debate in India.” Before this also his visa was denied by Pakistan in May, one NGO invited him to attend a program, he was very excited about the program, that time Pakistan said, he was not given visa because of some security problem.'
