Rakeysh Mehra: Politics of hatred v/s politics of love & peace - where I would request Ghulam Ali to accept honorary Indian citizenship.

Kailash Kher: Music ,sports & arts are not loved by considering the geographical boundaries, they deliver messages to the world. Respect should be by all.

Anubhav Sinha: Invite Pak PM for the swearing in of the new Govt and the same Govt disallows legendary Ghulam Ali to perform. We must have a clear policy.
