Aujla, Honey Singh Under Punjab Women’s Commission Scanner for “Offensive” Lyrics
The Punjab State Women’s Commission has initiated an investigation into popular Punjabi singers Karan Aujla and Yo Yo Honey Singh. The probe focuses on allegedly offensive lyrics in their songs, “MF Gabru” and “Millionaire,” respectively.
The Commission has formally requested the Director General of Police (DGP) to launch a thorough investigation into the matter. They have demanded prompt legal action if the lyrics are deemed to violate existing laws.
A report detailing the findings of the police investigation is expected by August 11, 2025. The Commission’s move underscores growing concerns about the portrayal of women in Punjabi music.
This investigation carries significant weight, highlighting the ongoing debate surrounding the responsibility of artists in shaping societal perceptions and the potential legal ramifications of misogynistic or offensive content. The outcome could set a crucial precedent for the Punjabi music industry.
