Singer Atif Aslam was to take part in a string of events in India, including a concert in the city of Vadodara organised by the Gujarat State Aids Control Society and the Gujarat State Council for Blood Transfusion. For some reason(s) Atif Aslam could not make it to the event as not just the concert but some other events at which Atif A was expected were cancelled. The organisers of the concert are now hoping that the function will happen in the near future, for which they haven’t given any date.

Hmm… what could be stopping Atif A from going to India?
