Former Haryana Education Minister, Geeta Bhukkal, criticized rapper Badshah’s new song for its objectionable lyrics targeting women. Bhukkal emphasized the need to oppose such obscenity and ensure respect and safety for daughters, aligning with the “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” campaign. She called for societal condemnation of songs containing inappropriate content, especially when directed at women.
In response to the controversy, Haryana School Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda stated that the state government swiftly took action upon learning of the matter. An FIR has been filed following the Chief Minister’s directive to address the issue promptly.
Renu Bhatia, Chairperson of the Haryana State Women’s Commission, denounced the offensive and shameful lyrics, urging the singer to retract the objectionable words and issue an apology. Community leaders, including Suresh Phogat, criticized the song and demanded a ban on tracks promoting gun culture or disrespect towards women.
The Haryana State Women’s Commission has issued a notice to Badshah regarding the alleged obscene lyrics in his new Haryanvi folk-style track ‘Tateeree,’ summoning him to appear before the commission on March 13 for a statement recording.
