Singer Mika Singh has asked Cabinet minister and Narendra Nagar MLA Subodh Uniyal to apologise to Punjabi singer Daler Mehndi if he believes he made a mistake during a cultural event in New Tehri, Uttarakhand.
Mika made the remarks at a press conference after a controversy erupted during the cultural evening of the historic Siddhpeeth Maa Kunjapuri Tourism and Development Fair on Sunday night. The dispute involved a performance by Daler Mehndi.
During the event, Uniyal went on stage and expressed his displeasure with Mehndi’s performance. A video of the incident went viral on social media on Monday, bringing wider attention to the exchange.
Mika Singh’s appeal
Speaking at the press conference, Mika said the responsibility lay with “them” and that the issue needed to be addressed. He suggested that the matter might be worsening because those involved did not want to confront it directly.
“It is 100 per cent their mistake, and they know they need to address the issue. Perhaps they do not want to face it directly and want to let it escalate,” Mika said.
He also appealed to Subodh Uniyal to contact Daler Mehndi privately if he had made a mistake, rather than necessarily issuing a public apology.
“I would still request Subodh ji to apologise if he has made a mistake. I am not saying he should come out in public and apologise. He can speak to Daler ji and say, ‘Brother, I made a mistake. It happens,’” Mika said.
What is known about the dispute
The reported controversy took place at the cultural evening of the Siddhpeeth Maa Kunjapuri Tourism and Development Fair in New Tehri. The available account identifies Mehndi’s performance and Uniyal’s reaction on stage as the central developments.
The video that circulated on social media shows the incident that prompted the public discussion. The available information does not establish whether Uniyal has accepted Mika’s request, spoken to Mehndi or issued an apology.
Mika’s comments therefore represent his appeal in the dispute, rather than confirmation that the matter has been resolved. The next development will depend on whether the people involved address the issue directly.
Conclusion
The New Tehri fair controversy followed Uniyal’s on-stage displeasure with Daler Mehndi’s performance. Mika Singh has urged Uniyal to address the matter and apologise privately if he believes he made a mistake, but no resolution is established in the available information.
