The Telangana government on Thursday issued a notice directing the singer against singing songs promoting alcohol, drugs, and violence during his live show at Hyderabad. The notice also restricted Dosanjh from using children on stage during his show as loud sounds and flashing lights during the concert are harmful for the children.
Popular singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh, who recently received a notice from the Telangana government directing him to not sing any songs promoting alcohol, drugs or violence at Hyderabad concert, accused authorities of double standards and challenged them to ban liquor in all states. “If all states declare themselves dry states, the next day Diljit Dosanjh will not sing a song about alcohol,” he said.
Performing in Ahmedabad last evening, he also declared he would not sing songs on alcohol since Gujarat is a dry state.
The singer was performing in Gujarat as part of the India leg of his Dil-Luminati Tour from Delhi in October.
“Aandhi roke to hum toofan… Toofan roke to hum aag ka dariya. DIL-LUMINATI TOUR Year 24 (If the storm stops then we become the tempest and if the tempest stops then we become the river of fire),” he posted, quoting Bajirao’s war cry from Ranveer Singh-starrer ”
