Punjabi singer GurdasMaan is once again embroiled in controversy. The Sikh community is veryangry with Gurdas Maan for associating a man with the generation of Guru AmarDas, the third Patshah of Sikhism, at the famous Nakodar fair. After thevideo of Gurdas Maan's speech went viral, he is being protested on socialmedia.
Now Sikh organizations have announced to register a leaflet at Nakodar policestation. The organizations also said that if no action was taken againstGurdas Maan, there would be massive protests across the state.
Gurdas Maan (born4 January 1957) is an Indian playback singer, songwriter and actor mainlyassociated with Punjabi and Hindi language music and films. Hegained national attention in 1980 with the song "Dil Da Mamla Hai".Since then, he has gone on to record over 34 albums and has written over 305songs. In 2015 he performed on the song "Ki Banu Dunia Da" with DiljitDosanjh in MTV Coke studio India that was aired in season 4episode 5 (16 August 2015) on MTV India.
Earlier Gurdas Maanhas been in controversy even before this. Even then, Gurdas Maan wasstrongly opposed. He had recently made a statement about the Punjabilanguage which had caused him controversy. In this case, he had respondedto a person from the stage in bad language. As a result, he was widelycriticized.
He was also notallowed to speak at the farmers’ dharna from the Singhu border stage. Althoughstage managers were ready to give him time, youngsters in gathering strongly opposedthe idea.
While some accuseMaan of speaking late in farmers’ support, this, however, is not the reasonbehind the anger of those protesting against him. Strange as it may sound, thelegendary singer’s detractors accuse him of disrespecting Punjabi language.
Now the latest controversy is Nakodar. Arriving at the famous fair here,Gurdas Maan claimed that the background of Baba's descendants was connectedwith the generation of Shri Guru Amar Das Ji. Its video is going viral onsocial media.
