She stated, “No, they [Saregama India] don’t [possess the rights].” “I’ve never sold the rights to this or any other song on my Roshni CD” (1998). Many companies have fraudulently claimed my songs since it was a simple thing to do in the 1990s, but we are taking necessary steps to achieve justice, not just for my songs, but for the thousands of songs by Pakistani artists stolen during that period.”
