Post Pulwama terror attack, singers Rekha Bhardwaj, Harshdeep Kaur pull out of event in Lahore

Singers Rekha Bhardwaj and Harshdeep Kaur have withdrawn their names from Shaan-e-Pakistan 2019 gala in Lahore next month in the wake of the Pulwama suicide bombing that killed 49 troopers. Rekha, well known for her versatile tracks like "Genda phool", "Kabira" and "Ghagra", was a star attraction at the gala, where Indian and Pakistani talent would have shared the stage for a musical summit and awards night on March 21 and March 22. "I cancelled our show to Pakistan immediately after the Pulwama attack," Rekha, who was due to travel with her team, told IANS.
