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.

Speaking to ANI, District Officer Rajneesh Sinha said, “The concert of Diljit Dosanjh will be held on 15 November at Twenty One Business Park. We have received a letter from Chandigarh about songs that praise drugs, intoxicants or weapons... As per the directions of Punjab and Haryana High Court, we have sent a letter to organisers so that they should take care that such songs should not be performed as it may have a negative effect on children.”
