Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Ahead of his November 21 concert in Ahmedabad, singing superstar Diljit Dosanjh has been asked to refrain from performing four of his songs allegedly promoting alcohol, substance abuse and violence.
The District Child Protection Officer has written to the Police Commissioner seeking restrictions on the concert, stating that the songs should not be performed even with modified lyrics.
The official has requested that the singer refrain from performing four songs such as ‘Patiala Peg’, ‘5 Taara Theke’, ‘Jeb Vicho Feem’ and ‘Jatt Fire Karda’, which allegedly promote alcohol, substance abuse and violence. The request also applies to performing these songs with modified lyrics.
Diljit is all set to perform in Indore on November 15. Ahead of his performance, bomb threats have been issued to three banks and the city’s Mayor’s Secretariat through emails sent in Punjabi and English.
