Controversy started at Bengaluru concert
The incident occurred during a concert held on April 25th at East Point College of Engineering and Technology. According to the complaint, the controversy began when a student in the audience requested Nigam to perform a Kannada song.
In response, he allegedly remarked, "Kannada, Kannada, Kannada... this is exactly why the incident happened in Pahalgam," referring to the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir.
