That's what my starting reaction was. Let's not try to see accusation in 
every statement by everyone otherwise people will just stop giving 
statements on anything.

Bappi da had given lot of junks but when he gave good music, it was 
really superb. And, he was indeed on the receiving ends of this copying 
often, though it was termed remix. For the members who do not know, one 
of the sweetest and most popular remix of all the time, and that also 
was one of the initial ones "Kaliyo Ka Chaman" is based on Bappi's song 
from 30 years ago, rendered by Lata ji. Frankly, that song had gone 
unnoticed and the remix has served Bappi da favorably in a way because 
by listening to the remix, people knew that it is a remix of Bappi da's 
song.

May be one can notice a similar style in Jai Ho and in the Rabba Ho 
withe echo of Ho ho ho, but such things are not really copy. It should 
not be like this that a person uses a style, that can't be used later at 
totally different tunes. jai ho is much more complex and has a lot of 
variety and even Spanish lyrics, it is altogether different.

Anyway, Bappi da is a senior personality in music world, he was the king 
of disco songs, he has sang for our man, and I hope they remain good 
friends.
