Chandigarh, Aug. 8 -- The Punjab State Women's Commission on Thursday took suo motu cognizance of the objectionable language used by singers Karan Aujla and Yo Yo Honey Singh in their latest songs and asked the police to investigate and take action in the matter. In letters to the Punjab director general of police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav, panel chairperson Raj Lali Gill demanded an investigation into the two songs that demean women's dignity. She also asked the singers to be present at the commission's office on August 11. Gill said it has come to the notice of the commission that objectionable language against women has been used in the songs 'MF Gabru' by Karan Aujla and 'Millionaire' by Yo Yo Honey Singh, which are being played on social media. Demanding an apology from the singers, Gill said: "Those who use such language can't be tolerated. These songs will be banned. Singers are the voice of society. On one hand they say they love their mother and on the other hand they use such abusive language for mothers in their songs." It is learnt that both the singers are abroad at present. The panel asked the director general of police that a senior Chandigarh-based officer should immediately conduct an investigation or take action according to the law in this regard. The investigating officer should be instructed to ensure that the status report regarding the action taken and the singers concerned be present at the commission office on August 11, read the letter. It said that the commission, in exercise of its powers under Section 12 of the Punjab State Commission for Women Act, 2001, may take suo motu cognisance of matters relating to violation of the rights, dignity and safety of women. The commission takes such matters very seriously and is committed to ensuring that the rights, dignity and status of women are protected, the letter stated. The intervention signals the growing concern over controversial lyrics in Punjabi music for their vulgar and violent content....
