ISLAMABAD: The winner of Star Voice India Chhote Ustad Rouhan Abbas on Friday demanded of the government to promote singing in Pakistan and also organize the show like wise "Star Voice of India" in Pakistan too.

Addressing a news conference, Rouhan said that majority in Pakistan also wants that the talented singers of India should also come in Pakistan. He further said that the government should utilize its efforts along with media to organize the singing show in Pakistan, so the child singers in Pakistan could also get some resources to get progress in their loving profession.

He said that he along with his companions was also trying to promote singing in Pakistan. "I would launch a campaign in my country soon to explore the talented singers", he added. In this regard, he said he has signed a contract with an advertising company.

Chhote Ustad was a popular musical talent hunt show which included children from Pakistan and India who had been paired up together. Musician Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was also a part of the judges’ panel.

According to Zoha Tapia, a Bombay based blogger for The Express Tribune:
Chhote Ustad was unique in many ways. Firstly, it made Indians and Pakistanis team up, rather than compete. Secondly, many Pakistani families managed to accomplish things they had only dreamt of, like visiting the Ajmer Sharif Dargah, watching their children share the same platform with big names like Asha Bhosle and meeting stars like Rishi Kapoor, which otherwise they would only have seen on screen. Thirdly, it propagated peace and promoted talent. Finally, it was a show which ran on talent and a message, rather than on controversy, drama and sleaze. Yes, it was high on emotion, but in the right way.
