Having earlier remained in dock for song ‘Mein hoon balatkari’, rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh is yet again in controversy over his music video ‘Makhna’ in which he has allegedly again used vulgar lyrics.
Chairperson of the Punjab State Women Commission Manisha Gulati, said taking a suo moto notice of the matter, she had written to the Additional Chief Secretary, Home, Punjab DGP, and IG, Crime, Punjab, recommending action against the singer, especially for using lyrics like ‘Mein hoon womaniser’ and ‘Silicon wali ladkiyon ko mein pakadta nahi’.
The complaint says that this song is getting viral on social media and its video is also objectionable. Hence, Gulati has taken a serious note of it and asked the police to register an FIR against the singer and company owner. We want that this song be banned and hence we have also raised our objection with the censor board. We cannot allow songs with such obscene words to be allowed to propagate further. We will also meet the state government officials to get the song banned at least from Punjab.
The complaint also cited the lyrics that were objectionable:
Tu tu tu tu ru ru makhna
Main aur mere kalakaar
Sab baith ke karein chill
Par main hoon womanizer
Mujhe akele mein matt mill
Silicon wali ladkiyon ko main pakadta nahi
Brown girl se mera dil bharta nahi
Gori gori skin ke liye main marta nahi
Kyon ki main hoon sher ghaas charta nahi

The complaint letter ends by saying that:
The commission chairperson has sought status report from senior police officials by July 12 on the matter. In a communique that she has sent to the officials yesterday, she has written, “A legal action and an inquiry is required to be initiated by the police on the matter as the song readied by T-series chairman Bhushan Kumar and singers Honey Singh and Neha Kakkar uses vulgar words against women.”
