Singer Diljit Dosanjh tore into the calls for not promoting alcohol in his songs, challenging authorities across the country to ban liquor.Performing in Ahmedabad last evening, he also declared he would not sing songs on alcohol since Gujarat is a dry state.
Mr Dosanjh’s strong remarks came after the Telangana government directed him not to promote alcohol, drugs, and violence in his songs ahead of his Hyderabad concert. The singer, who is on a Dil-Luminati India Tour, then tweaked his songs ‘Lemonade’ and ‘5 Taara’, but called out double-standards by the authorities.
During his latest concert in Ahmedabad, he declared, “Even today I won’t sing any song about alcohol. It’s because Gujarat is a dry state. While the listeners have been enjoying his songs, a movie in the name of Chamkila was also made with the same theme. It has to be seen how the police or the Government would take the challenge of a liquor ban.
