India, Oct. 28 -- P unjabi singer Maninder Buttar has responded to Uttarakhand Cabinet Minister Subodh Uniyal's claim that he was "beaten up" during an earlier visit to the state, urging the minister to release the complete recording of the show to establish what happened. During an Instagram Live session on Monday, Buttar said, "I want the truth to come out. I respectfully request the Hon'ble Minister to upload the complete recording of that show so that everyone can see what actually happened and judge for themselves if I did anything wrong," he said. Adding that he was "genuinely shocked" when he heard what Uniyal said, the 31-year-old added, "I have done shows in Himachal and pan-India but never hurt anyone so far. Neither did I ever sing anything wrong, the whole industry knows. Such words don't look nice from you. I am a very simple person. I was genuinely shocked when I came to know that such things had been said about me and my father, that too on camera." The controversy began last week when Uniyal interrupted veteran singer Daler Mehndi's performance in New Tehri. The minister reprimanded Mehndi, alleging that he had performed under the influence of alcohol, and brought up Buttar's earlier visit to Uttarakhand, claiming, "Yahaan aapse pehle Maninder Buttar pit ke gaya tha... aur itna pita tha ki uska baap bhi dobara nahi aa sakta yahaan pe." The minister's remarks drew criticism from several members of the industry, including Mehndi's brother, singer Mika Singh, actor Anupam Kher and comedian Kapil Sharma, who criticised the way Mehndi was addressed. Uniyal, meanwhile, has stood by his actions, maintaining that the singer should have informed the organisers in advance if he was unwell, and has declined calls for an apology. HTC...
