Diljit Dosanjh Calls Out Double Standards After Telangana Govt's Notice On Song Ban

Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh is making helines after facing a legal notice from Telangana government, which instructed him not to perform songs promoting alcohol, drugs, and violence during his concert in Hyderab.

notice, issued just hours before his performance on Friday, cited a complaint from a Chandigarh resident who claimed that Diljit Dosanjh h performed songs promoting alcohol and violence at a previous concert in New Delhi. 

Songs like 'Patiala Pegg' and 'Panchatara' were specifically mentioned in complaint. government also warned singer against repeating such performances and urged organisers to refrain from involving children in show, citing safety concerns regarding loud noises and strobe lights.

In a recent social media video shared by Diljit Dosanjh's team, 'Amar Singh Chamkila' actor responded by tweaking his lyrics on stage, turning controversy into a viral moment.

Taking to Instagram and stage at GMR Arena, Diljit Dosanjh said, "Koi bahar se kalakaar ayega woh jo marzi gaa k jaaye, jo marzi kare koi tension nahi hai. Lekin apna kalakaar ghar aa raha hai, usme twanu pareshani, taang ani hai. Par main bhi ek baat bata doon, eh Dosanjha aala bugge, eh ni chtaa", pointing out what he perceived as double standards in treatment of foreign versus Indian artists. (Translation: "If an artist from abro comes, y can sing whatever y want, but when it's an Indian artist, you interfere. But let me tell you, I am Dosanjhawala, I won’t leave.")

Dosanjh's comments were met with strong reactions from audience, both during concert and on social media.

singer also took a moment to dress rumours about his concert ticket sales, which have been a subject of intrigue.

"Kai logo ko toh digest nahi horaha ki itne be shows ho kyu rahe hai? Yeh ticket 2 minute mein bik kaise jaati hai. Bro, main bohut der se kaam kar raha hoon. Main ek din mein famous nahi hua," he said, asserting that his rise to fame has been result of years of hard work, not overnight success.

(Translation: "Some people can’t digest why se big shows are happening and how tickets sell out in two minutes. Bro, I’ve been working hard for a long time. I didn’t become famous overnight.")

ditionally, in viral videos shared by his fans who attended concert, Dosanjh could be seen making subtle changes to lyrics of some of his popular songs during Hyderab concert.

For example, in his hit track 'Lemone', line "Tainu teri 'daaru' ch pasand aa Lemone" (You like your lemone with alcohol) was changed to "Tainu teri 'coke' ch pasand aa Lemone" (You like your lemone with coke).

Similarly, in '5 Taara', he altered lyrics from "5 Taara kke ut" (Five stars liquor shop) to "5 Taara 'hotel' ch" (Five stars hotel). 

ditionally, Diljit Dosanjh also touched upon issue of cybercrime, vising audience to be cautious of online fraud and promoting awareness about Telangana government's helpline number 1930, which deals with cybercrimes.

singer furr elaborated on issue of reselling concert tickets, mentioning that government is working on solutions to curb such practices.

Hyderab concert was part of Diljit’s 'Dil-Luminati' Tour, which has been making waves across India and abro. After successful shows in Delhi and Jaipur, singer was greeted with enthusiastic fans in Hyderab, despite last-minute controversy.
