Child protection officer seeks ban on four Diljit Dosanjh songs
The Story in Brief
The District Child Protection Officer in Ahmedabad has written to the city police commissioner seeking restrictions on four songs by singer Diljit Dosanjh at his November 21 concert at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The tracks named are Patiala Peg, 5 Taara Theke, Jeb Vicho Feem, and Jatt Fire Karda, which the officer says promote alcohol, substance abuse and violence. The officer has also requested that children not be invited on stage due to risks from loud music and flashing lights, and that Dosanjh not wear bullet belts or dummy cartridges.
The request, dated November 6, cites the Centre's Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan and a 2019 Punjab and Haryana High Court order on songs glorifying liquor and violence. Similar restrictions were placed on Dosanjh's November 15 concert in Indore, where bomb threats have also been reported. The Indore police are investigating the threats. The Ahmedabad police commissioner's response to the request has not been disclosed.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same restrictions on four songs, children on stage, and bandoliers, attributing them to the District Child Protection Officer. Times Now and ABP Live also mention the Indore bomb threats, while The Indian Express adds that the complaint was triggered by a Chandigarh professor. The Indian Express names the officer as Tanvika Parmar and the police commissioner as Anupamsingh Gahlaut, details the other two omit. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, with no outlet taking a stance on the restrictions themselves, the key open question remains how the Ahmedabad police will act on the request.
End concrete: the police commissioner's decision on the request is awaited.
