Singer Faces Ban Over Controversial Song Content
15 Nov
Summary
- Child protection unit requested Diljit Dosanjh's performance be restricted.
- Concerns raised over songs promoting alcohol, drugs, and weapons.
- Authorities previously barred four of the singer's songs in Indore.
Authorities in Ahmedabad have been asked to restrict singer Diljit Dosanjh's upcoming performance on November 21 due to concerns about his song content. The District Child Protection Unit (DCPU) submitted a letter to the Police Commissioner requesting that Dosanjh refrain from performing songs that allegedly promote alcohol, drugs, and weapons. This follows a similar incident last week where four of his songs were barred from his November 15 concert in Indore.
The DCPU highlighted specific songs like 'Patiala Pegg' and '5 Taara Theeke,' arguing they glorify harmful substances and violence. Concerns were also raised about loud music exceeding 120 decibels and the potential negative impact of stage effects on children. Furthermore, the use of cartridge or bullet belts as part of costumes was flagged for promoting gun culture, referencing a 2019 Punjab and Haryana High Court judgment.
Diljit Dosanjh is currently on his Aura India Tour, which began in Delhi on October 30, 2026. The tour has already included stops in Australia, North America, and Europe. Upcoming performances are scheduled in Indore (November 15), Ahmedabad (November 21), Mumbai (November 27), Bengaluru (November 29), and Lucknow (December 5), with dates for Chandigarh and Kolkata yet to be announced. The Ahmedabad concert at the Narendra Modi Stadium is notable for its stadium production debut in India.
