Badshah's latest song sparks outrage: Schoolgirls' dances on bus roof spark fury, women's commission takes notice

Chandigarh (The Uttam Hindu): Famous Bollywood rapper Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia alias 'Badshah' is once again embroiled in a major controversy and this time the matter has reached the doorstep of the Women's Commission. Taking a very strict stand regarding the rap version of the recently released Haryanvi folk song 'Tettiri', the Haryana State Women's Commission has issued a summons to Badshah. Badshah is accused of making little girls wearing government school uniforms dance on top of a bus in his new music video and making them throw school bags from their hands. Apart from this, the obscene language used in the song has heated up the whole matter even more.

The root of this entire controversy is the song's visuals and its vulgar lyrics. Following a complaint from Savita Arya, president of the Panipat-based organization "Nari Tu Narayani," and Shiv Kumar, head of the "Shiv Aarti Foundation," the Women's Commission took immediate action. A lawyer from Rohtak also submitted a complaint to the State Child Rights Protection Commission, strongly objecting to a line in Badshah's rap, "Aaya Badshah doli chadhaane, in sabki ghodi banaane." The complainants clearly state that such vulgar visuals and vocabulary send the wrong message to society that education is not important. Showing girls in school uniforms throwing away their bags is a direct insult to education and can have a devastating impact on the minds of innocent children.

Let us tell you that 'Tettiri' is originally a very popular Haryanvi folk song, sung by Simran Jaglan, daughter of boxer and singer Karambir Fauji, a resident of Kaithal. When Badshah came across this song, he adapted it into his rap style and released it on March 1st. The song was shot in Jind district of Haryana. Within a few days of its release, the song garnered more than two million views on YouTube, but it also created a lot of controversy. Naveen Jaihind, head of the Jai Hind Sena, also expressed strong objection to the scenes in this song on social media and demanded its immediate ban.

Given the seriousness of the matter, the Haryana Women's Commission has written to the Superintendent of Police of Panipat, issuing a summons for March 13th. The summons strictly mandates the complainants, as well as singer Badshah, to appear in person as a respondent. This high-profile case will be heard on March 13th by the Commission's Chairperson, Renu Bhatia, in the conference hall of the District Deputy Commissioner's office in Panipat. The entire nation is now watching to see what explanation Badshah presents to the Commission on March 13th and whether any major legal action is taken against him.
