Maharashtra Navnirman Chitrapat Karmachari Sena, the film wing of the Raj Thackeray-led MNS, today asked Pakistani singer Adnan Sami to leave the country as he was allegedly staying in India without a visa. "Sami met us at our office here today, seeking our cooperation. We told him to leave the country as his visa has expired," MNS film wing president Amey Khopkar said. "We told Sami that our priority would be our artistes," Khopkar told PTI.

Asked if Sami came on his own, Khopkar said "we received complaints about his staying here illegally and called him." Sami had reportedly told a family court here that he had a Pakistani passport and was residing in India on the basis of visa granted to him from time to time. He said his visa was valid from September 26, 2012 till October 6, 2013.
