However, CAU officials said half of the artist’s payment had already been made, making it difficult to call off the programme at that stage. Certain conditions were subsequently agreed upon, according to representatives of the committee. Mohit Dimri, founder of Mool Niwas and Bhu-Kanoon Sangharsh Samiti, said, “Sharma would be expected to publicly apologise to the people of Uttarakhand from the event stage.”
The committee demanded that Sharma’s performance be cancelled.
