The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has issued a letter to singer Javed Ali to remind him that his participation in Dubai Opera on August 31 is in violation to the directive issued by the government and the organisation on not collaborating with any Pakistani artist. The letter mentioned that the concert where Javed Ali is set to perform will also have a performance by Pakistani artist Ustad Ghulam Ali and Aamir Ghulam Ali. Now, Javed Ali has reacted to the letter sent to him where he clarified that he will not be collaborating with any Pakistani artists. 

Javed Ali responds to FWICE

In the letter addressed to FWICE, Jave Ali wrote, "I would like to express my respect for the sentiments and concerns raised by the Federation. However, I believe there has been a misunderstanding regarding the nature of the event in question."

He went on to explain that he will not be sharing stage with any other artist during the ticketed concert. "I am not performing with Ustad Ghulam Ali Khan Saab or any other Pakistani artist. This is not a collaborative performance, nor am I sharing the stage with them. The performance is a ticketed gazal and sufi concert, a multi-artist event organized in another country, featuring a variety of performers from different nations. Each artist is scheduled to perform separately, and there is no artistic or professional association between us in this context."
