Diljit Dosanjh has recently been issued an advisory restricting him from promoting drugs and alcohol ahead of his upcoming Gujarat concert.
The 42-year-old singer, who is known for numerous chart-topping Punjabi and Bollywood hits, has been asked not to perform certain songs at his concert in Gujarat.
On Sunday, November 15, Ahmedabad DCPO Tanvika Parmar told The Indian Express that they had requested the police to restrict the actor-singer from performing songs that glorify alcohol consumption.
Speaking exclusively, Parmar said, “We have requested the police to not allow Diljit Dosanjh to sing these songs during his concert in Ahmedabad as these glorify alcohol consumption, narcotic substances and weapons, and violence. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment is actively running the Drug-Free India Campaign so such songs cannot be allowed. The reference of Punjab and Haryana High Court’s order is being given that such songs will have a bad impact on children.”
The restricted songs include Patiala Peg, 5 Raara Theke, Jeb vicho feem labhi aa, and Jatt Fire Karda.
Similarly, the Indore District Administration has imposed restrictions on the Punjabi hitmaker, barring him from inviting children on stage over safety concerns.
It is pertinent to mention that the action follows a complaint filed by Chandigarh-based professor Punditrao Dharenavar.
Meanwhile, Dosanjh is slated to perform at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 21 as part of his Aura India Tour.
