The famous Punjabi singer Muhammad Ashraf, better known as Nak Da Koka singer Malkoo, has been banned from performing in the United Kingdom for the next 10 years. The ban imposed by the British government due to violations of immigration laws.
Reason for the Ban
Malkoo, known for his popular track Nak Da Koka, faced this action after performing in three UK cities without obtaining the necessary No Objection Certificate (NOC). The performances held without proper authorization, leading to the strict decision by UK authorities.
Contract Breach
In addition to the NOC issue, Malkoo reportedly violated his contract by singing his hit song Nick Da Coca during the concert, which not allowed under the terms of the agreement. This breach added to the legal complications surrounding his performances.
Impact on Malkoo’s Career
The 10-year ban marks a significant setback for Malkoo, whose songs have enjoyed widespread popularity both in Pakistan and among Punjabi communities abroad. With his ability to perform in the UK now severely restricted, the singer’s future performances in one of his key international markets are uncertain.
Immigration Law Violations
This action serves as a warning to other artists about the importance of complying with immigration and performance regulations when touring abroad. The UK government has enforced strict measures to ensure that all performers follow legal procedures, and Malkoo’s case highlights the potential consequences of failing to do so.
The Nak Da Koka singer Malkoo is yet to release an official statement regarding the ban.
