Singer Mika Singh defended his brother, Daler Mehndi, after BJP MLA Subodh Uniyal publicly reprimanded Mehndi and accused him of being drunk during a performance at the Maa Kunjapuri fair. "No one scolds even a kid in school like this...I think the politician himself was drunk," Mika said. He questioned why Mehndi was publicly humiliated instead of being denied payment.
