Popular Punjabi rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh has again courted controversy for lewd lyrics in his latest song Makhna. Taking a suo motu cognizance, Punjab State Women Commission Chairperson Manisha Gulati said she has written to the Director General of Police to register a criminal case against the singer for using lyrics like "Main hu womaniser (I am a womaniser)."
"A legal action and an inquiry is required to be initiated by the police on the matter as the song readied by T-series chairman Bhushan Kumar and singers Honey Singh and Neha Kakkar uses vulgar words against women," Manisha told in a communique. Manisha said the Commission has sought a status report from the police officials by July 12 in this regard. Demanding a ban on the song, she said it is "indecent and have a degrading influence on society."

It had also said singers like Honey Singh should be boycotted, as "his songs make us hang our heads in shame".
