The Punjab Women's Commission has initiated a formal inquiry into the 'objectionable language' reportedly used in songs by popular singers Karan Aujla and Yo Yo Honey Singh. The panel has reached out to law enforcement agencies, urging a prompt examination and subsequent action against the controversial lyrics.
Through official communication with the Punjab Police Chief, the commission has also mandated the personal appearance of the artists at the commission's office on August 11. The dispute centers on songs 'MF Gabru' by Aujla and 'Millionaire' by Singh, both of which have drawn criticism for their portrayal of women.
Invoking its authority under the Punjab State Commission for Women Act, 2001, the panel is adamant that any derogatory references towards women be addressed swiftly. The commission strongly emphasizes its role in safeguarding the rights, dignity, and status of women across the region.
