Punjab Women Commission Takes Action Against Honey Singh and Karan Aujla for "Objectionable" Songs
Chandigarh (The Uttam Hindu): The troubles of two famous and millionaire Punjabi singers Honey Singh and Karan Aujla seem to be increasing now. The Punjab State Women Commission has taken a tough stand against both of them due to the objectionable language used against women in their recent songs. The commission has taken suo motu cognizance of the matter and has written a letter to the DGP of Punjab demanding a senior level investigation.
The controversy started with Karan Aujla's new song 'MF Gabru', in which allegedly indecent words have been used for women. Anger is also being seen on social media regarding the lyrics of the song, and it is being described as against Indian culture. Now the Women's Commission has issued a notice to Karan Aujla to appear on August 11 at 11:30 am.
Meanwhile, Honey Singh's song 'Millennium', which was released about 11 months ago and has been viewed more than 396 million times on YouTube, has once again come under controversy. The Women's Commission has taken suo motu cognizance of this song too, alleging the use of inappropriate language against women.
Women are mentioned repeatedly in the songs of both the artists, but the Commission says that that mention reflects disrespect rather than respect. The Chairperson of the Women's Commission has clearly stated that such content will not be tolerated in society and the responsible artists will be held accountable.
It is worth noting that Karan Aujla's song 'MF Gabru' has achieved 34 million views on YouTube in just 6 days, i.e. this song is going viral very fast. At the same time, Honey Singh has been surrounded by controversies regarding the language of his songs earlier as well. In such a situation, this time the attitude of the commission seems to be more strict. Now it remains to be seen what answer both the artists present before the commission on August 11 and where the whole controversy ends.
