Overview

  • FWICE issued an official letter on August 2 urging Kartik Aaryan to withdraw from the August 15 Azadi Utsav in Houston organised by Pakistani-owned Aga’s Restaurant and Catering
  • The federation grounded its warning in directives from both FWICE and the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting that prohibit collaborations with Pakistani artists on national-security grounds
  • Kartik Aaryan’s representatives confirmed he was never involved and secured the removal of his name and image from all promotional materials
  • The same restaurant’s simultaneous Pakistan Independence Day celebration on August 14 prompted FWICE to flag a conflict of nationalist sentiments
  • FWICE has sent a parallel notice to singer Javed Ali over his August 31 Dubai concert with Pakistani performers, and he has yet to respond
