A small number of people want Pakistani artistes to be ‘kicked out’ on account of the fact that some Pak nationals may or may not have launched terror attacks som­ewhere in India. These people want Pakistani artistes to be taught a lesson so they can go back to their country and exhort their people to stop indulging in terrorism of any sort. It’s hoped that this “strong message” — presumably to be given over an evening of light entertainment, featuring works by aforementioned artistes — will be taken seriously by terrorists who, as history has taught us, have always considered messages from artistes and ceased their bloody activities almost instantly.
