In a video, he explained, “I am working for more than forty years. In Muharram days, PTV invited me to recite ‘Marsiya’ which is very difficult and everyone can’t recite it. So I went there and recorded in my voice, and it aired on 9th and 10th Muharram. After two years, I received my fee cheque and received payment of 620.”
“At this age, my mother institute will insult me like this?” Rashid Mahmood added.

I remember the day I had visited PTV some years ago and was shocked to see such a senior & respected artist urging for his (very small) payment to be cleared. I had conveyed that I would not take mine until his was cleared with the hope that things would change sooner than later. https://t.co/IiLTgiSJzL

Paying 620/-rs to Mr Rashid Mehmood by an institution like PTV. doesn't make sense
What are the criterias of paying a pride of performance winner in this country
What does it take to gain a little respect if not so many decades Rashid sahab have given to this industry? pic.twitter.com/TLZwH1Bq6i
