The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce has launched a 'non-cooperation' campaign against Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam after a controversial remark he made at a recent Bengaluru concert. The statement has incited protests, with local groups demanding an apology.

During an April 25 performance, Nigam allegedly linked a fan's request for a Kannada song to a terror attack in Pahalgam. The incident, resulting in the tragic loss of 26 lives, included victims from Karnataka, sparking further outrage.

Law enforcement has intervened, intensifying investigations and issuing a notice to Nigam to appear for questioning. The KFCC maintains its stance, calling for an apology to the people of Karnataka, as demonstrations in the city continue.
