Why Diljit Dosanjh's concert in Indore is facing controversies?
On 6th November, the women and child development department's District Child Protection Officer asked the management of the venue to avoid including 4 songs of Diljit on their setlist. The notice has listed songs like Patiala Peg, 5 Taara, Jeeb Vicho Afeem aka Case and Jatt Uthe Fire Karda. The authorities are concerned about the lyrics as they could 'have a wrong effect on young kids' as the concert is open to kids above five years. Diljit and team are yet to publicly react to the notice.
