Eedris has right to express himself artistically - Asha

Singer Asha Gangali has expressed his views on the ban placed by the National Broadcasting Commission on his colleague, Eedris Abdulkareem's song 'Tell Your Papa'.

"I think it’s the usual type of song you can expect from the legendary Eedris Abdulkareem. He had always been critical of the government in his music and personal views. He has a right to express himself artistically, highlighting societal issues that preceded the current administration. This is a very delicate issue to delve into as we approach another season of political razzmatazz."

While hailing Eedris Abdulkareem for using his artistic right to express himself, Asha said:

"Though he has a right to artistic expression, I do not agree with the complete message of the song because I believe the government has not been in power long enough to solve all the problems being addressed in the song. However, Eedris has the right to express himself and his views in his music, and it should be respected."
