'Patiala Peg', 3 Other Songs Banned From Diljit Dosanjh's Indore Concert

What's behind this

Diljit Dosanjh's concert scheduled for November 15 in Indore has come under scrutiny after the district child protection officer issued a directive that four of his popular songs, including “Patiala Peg,” not be performed. Authorities said the songs promote liquor and violence and could affect children, and they also advised that children not be called on stage and that the singer avoid wearing a faux bullet belt. The directive follows a complaint about the content of the songs and child‑safety concerns.
