Mekaal Hasan creates an instrumental version of Pakistani National Anthem for the upcoming independence day 14th August of Pakistan ..

Mekaal Hasan is a Pakistani musician and record producer from Lahore. He is the leader and composer for Mekaal Hasan Band.

Over the years, much has been written about Mekaal Hasan, brain behind the Mekaal Hasan Band (MHB) and funnily enough, the hand behind many a musical production in the last couple years. It seems almost silly to say something about the musician; as there is nothing that he hasn’t been interviewed about in the last decade, printed in magazines and papers, and republished on the web. Mekaal Hasan was a Jazz Composition major at Berkley College of Music.

Here's the Instrumental of Pakistani National Anthem:

KARACHI: Soon after Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said that he was not afraid of the Taliban and that threats will not deter his plan to march into Waziristan, ex-Junoon guitarist Salman Ahmad tweeted that he will accompany the ‘peace caravan’.

Tweeting from his personal Twitter account@sufisal, Ahmad on Thursday announced, “I’ll be traveling with IK’s [Imran Khan’s] peace caravan to Waziristan.”

The tweet was apparently in response to Khan’s tweet from his official account @ImranKhanPTI which said, “A man of faith doesn’t fear death & a march for peace against drones that have destroyed millions of lives of Fata people is worth dying for.”

Khan had sent out this tweet after reports emerged which stated that the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had threatened to kill him if he marched into their tribal stronghold Waziristan. The Taliban spokesperson later clarified that the Taliban did not say they would kill him, but they still see him as an “infidel” for being a “liberal”.

The Taliban said that their top leadership will decide whether to allow Khan to march into Waziristan or not. Earlier in July, Khan had announced he was planning to lead thousands of people in a march to Waziristan in September to protest against drone strikes.

The possible reason behind the ban is the pressure of Indian local singers on the government to keep Rahat away from India, who is extremely popular in Bollywood.

The pressure on government is not only exerted on individual basis, as the film singer association is also demanding the government to ban Pakistani singers just because of professional jealousy and the popularity the Pakistani singers in India.

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has been recording his songs for India projects in local studios since his involvement in a money laundering case, which happened on 13 February 2011, as he was on his way back to Pakistan after attending concerts and award functions in India, he was detained at the airport and allegedly more than 140,000 US dollars was seized by authorities.
