Diljit Dosanjh Criticizes Selective Censorship of Songs and Films

The singer challenges alcohol-related song restrictions, questioning double standards in Indian cinema and media coverage.

Diljit Dosanjh addressed criticism over alcohol references in his songs during his Lucknow concert, defending his work and questioning selective censorship.
The controversy began after the Telangana government restricted him from performing songs promoting alcohol, drugs, or violence at his Hyderabad concert.
Dosanjh highlighted that many of his hit songs, such as 'Born To Shine' and 'GOAT,' do not reference alcohol, countering a TV anchor's challenge.
He argued that if censorship is applied to music, it should also extend to Indian films, which often feature alcohol-related scenes.
Dosanjh emphasized that artists are often unfairly targeted, asserting the credibility of his work, including National Award-winning films.
