He makes a couple of valid points.
1) There's a good supply of talent to be found within India.
2) Pakistan is not as open as India in terms of accepting foreigners or people of Indian origin.
That said,
1. Entertainment industry is not the platform to raise political issues. People all over the world have the right to entertain others as well as to be entertained. In a way, he answered his own question. if nobody else is bothered then why should he bother?
2. India is a democracy. Pakistan is not. Does Abhijeet want to get away from a democratic country and go to some other country which is under, say, a dictatorship/taliban/communistic rulers? If not, he should enjoy what a democracy gives him as well as let others enjoy what democracy gives them. He has a right to object. But then, he shouldn't expect that his word should be the final. In a democracy , people can differ. That's the beauty of it. But then, people cannot start presuming that the government act immediately just because a couple of people have radical ideas. It doesn't work that way.
3. If Abhijeet wants to see how tolerant people could be, with respect to people from other countries and other religions, he should pay a visit to US or UK. He will learn a thing or two regarding tolerance.
4. I have seen an episode of SRGMP 2008 where some of the contestants from Pakistan said that they visited a local police station for work permit related issues. It's the rule and they are abiding by it. Every country has it's own rules and India too functions in it's own way. They are not going to make new rules or break existing rules just because Abhijeet has some concerns .
5. If Abhijeet cares so much for other talented singers from India, he should promote them instead of promoting himself all the time.
6. Abhijeet is getting paid to judge. A duty in which he has miserably failed because of his blind love for Sanchita and his hatred for singers from across the border.
