citiesUpdated: Jan 24, 2020 22:57 ISTSummoned by the Ludhiana police, Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala appeared before the assistant commissioner of police (ACP, south) Jashandeep Singh Gill on Friday to record his statement. A Ludhiana-based RTI activist, Kuldeep Singh Khaira, filed a complaint with the police that the singers are propagating gun culture through their songs. He was promoting gun culture and violence is a violation of orders of Punjab and Haryana high court. Moose Wala said a video of the song in question “pakhiyan, pakhiyan”, earlier sung by singer-cum-lyricist Sabi Bhinder, was uploaded on YouTube by one of his friends during a get-together. The ACP said that the singer has been told about the ruling of high court that weapons cannot be glorified in songs.
