Sidhu Moosewala’s latest song ‘Vaar’ based on Hari Singh Nalwa has landed into controversy. Sidhu’s song was accused of allegedly defaming Prophet Hazrat Mohammad. This has led to many people calling out for a ban on music for hurting the religious sentiments of specific communities.
Post the controversy, famous Punjabi singer Jenny Johal stepped in and defended slain singer Sidhu Moosewala. The singer earlier also released a song as a tribute to singer in which she sought justice for his murder. This time, she took to her Instagram handle and posted a story addressing all the fans and people calling out for ban.
While defending Sidhu Moosewala, she stated that Sidhu Moosewala in his song ‘VAAR’ did not defame Hazrat Muhammad but referred to Dost Khan Mohammad who attacked Hari Singh Nalwa’s castle. She requested the people not to judge his song and defame such a legendary singer in the name of religion.
VAAR is Sidhu Moosewala’s second song after death released on the occasion of Gurupurab and became an instant hit. The song has garnered more than 10 million views in just one day of its release.
Here are the lyrics which landed song onto heated controversy:
“Afgana De Mana Vich Aidda Dar Siga, Afgana Ne Salwaran Paauniya
Shuru Kar Dittiyan Si, Ke Assi Aurtaan Laggage”
“Ohde Barchhe Muhre Diggde, Ki Muhammad Te Ki Khan Ae
Vairi Foot Foot Pichhe Sitt’da, Jadon Maarda Ik Nishaane”
