A weekend concert where TM Krishna, Carnatic's award-winning singer, was scheduled to be canceled by the India Airport Authority, the sponsors of the series, after the singer was targeted by right-wing trolls in social media.
"We wish to inform that due to urgent commitments, the program" Dance and Music in the Park "jointly organized by AAI and SPICMACAY, on 17 and 18 November has been postponed and that new dates will be announced. Shortcomings are regretted, "said the aviation corps on Thursday.
Besides TM Krishna, Sonal Mansingh, Priyadarsini Govind and Shahid Parvez Khan were invited to perform during the event.

The winner of the Magsaysay Award has often been accused of criticism from right-wing groups for his secular position and for singing Christian hymns and other songs.
In August, a marginal group in Tamil Nadu threatened him for singing songs about Allah and Jesus in Carnatic. The controversy began after the broadcast of an audio clip on WhatsApp. The angry singer had tweeted "considering the vile comments and threats made on social networks concerning the karnatic compositions about Jesus, I announce here that I will publish every month a karnatic song about Allah or Jesus".
Given the vile comments and threats made by many social media regarding Karnatik's compositions on Jesus, I announce here that I will publish a karnatik song every month on Jesus or Allah.
