Diljit Dosanjh Didn’t Sing Songs On Alcohol In Gujarat; Here’s Why

New Delhi: Amid calls for not promoting alcohol in his songs, singer Diljit Dosanjh challenged authorities across the country to ban liquor. Performing in Ahmedabad last evening, he also declared he would not sing songs on alcohol since Gujarat is a dry state.

Dosanjh made the remark after the Telangana government directed him not to promote alcohol, drugs, and violence in his songs ahead of his Hyderabad concert. The singer, who is on a Dil-Luminati India Tour, then tweaked his songs ‘Lemonade’ and ‘5 Taara’, but called out double standards by the authorities.

“There’s good news. I did not get any notice today,” he told the crowd in Ahmedabad last evening in an apparent swipe at Telangana government. “Even today I won’t sing any song about alcohol. It’s because Gujarat is a dry state,” he said.

After mixed reactions from the crowd on whether liquor is banned in Gujarat, he said he would be a fan of the Gujarat government if it had indeed imposed prohibition on liquor.
