Zee Network bans Sonu Nigam

Sonu Nigam has been banned by Zee Network after he tweeted in support of his poet friend and Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas. The 41-year-old singer tweeted the video of Kumar Vishwas addressing a farmers rally in the capital, which witnessed the death of Gajendra Singh, a farmer from Rajasthan.

I am far from politics but I feel this truth should come out for the sake of my poet friend Kumar Vishwas. https://t.co/E4QWJrgg6c

Zee network later tweeted a video of the AAP leader in which he was heard saying ‘latak gaya?’. After viewing the video, Nigam posted another video on Twitter, which gave another outlook to the situation.

So now Zee announces a ban on me. :) What do I say.. God bless everyone.

After the singers tweet, Zee network decided to ban Nigam from all future projects. When the information reached Nigam, he tweeted against it and was soon lent support by his followers.

I Am Grateful for all your support. I would wanna believe that the negativity wouldn't last too long.
