Taking suo motu cognizance of the matter, the commission has written to the state Director General of Police (DGP), urging immediate action. Both artists have also been summoned to appear before the commission on Monday, August 11, 2025.According to a report in Amar Ujala, Commission Chairperson Raj Lali Gill raised serious concerns over the portrayal of women in the songs in question. In her letter to the DGP, she asserted that lyrics in both tracks violate the dignity of women and propagate a disrespectful image of them in popular culture.

At the same time, attention has also turned to an older track by Honey Singh titled Millionaire, which the commission says also contains objectionable language that disrespects women.According to the Women’s Commission, both songs promote harmful stereotypes and use explicit language that crosses acceptable boundaries.
