I eagerly look forward to visiting Pakistan.” Lata further told once she was scheduled to tour Pakistan however it was cancelled just one day before departing to Pakistan. As per Lata, under General Ziaul Haq (former dictator who ruled from 1977-1988) government a cultural organization in Pakistan arranged the visit, however it was cancelled at the very last moment.
