In a series of tweets, Singer Sona Mohapatra complained to the Mumbai police, about the threatening emails she received from one Sufi organization, called Madiyar Sufi Foundation. The said organization has raised an objection on her latest video, terming it non-Islamic or against the Sufi format. The singer is claimed to be so disturbed from the outrageous emails that she has received one after another. The emails warned her of dire consequences if she did not remove her video from all the communication platforms.


The Foundation claims to be a protector of the Sufi values and maintains that the singer hurts the core principles of the Sufi art and culture. According to Sona, the Foundation has arbitrarily established that her video is obscene and objectionable, and flouts the rules that the foundation has set.  Besides this latest video, the Foundation has raised objections on her another video that was released 5 years ago.


The singer who has the certificate from the CBFC board for her music video and its content is extremely distressed the way the religious organization is trying to disrupt her career on flimsy grounds.    


Mohapatra, earned her limelight from the Ambarsariya song from the movei Fukrey, recently released her an album that includes Sufiana Kalam by Baba Bulleh Shah. Her song, Tori Surat, is an inspiration from the poetry of Amir Khusrow. The Madariya foundation sees the description of Sona’s Tori Surat as an earthy incarnation of the feminine portrayal, with the presence of sleeveless dress and body-exposing dancers, and finds the song against the Sufi principles.


Madariya Sufi Foundation is a registered trust that promotes Sufism. The foundation has a number of followers and thinks itself of being a custodian of Sufi values, and which gives them the right to object and threaten anybody in an illegal manner.


None of the secular forces and intellectuals of the country has commented on this issue, and extended their support to the singer.
