Tej Pratap asks singer to not sing ‘vulgar’ songs at Patna event
A recent incident at a Makar Sankranti event in Patna has sparked a heated debate on social media, with a video of Jan Adhikar Party (JAP) chief Tej Pratap Yadav interrupting a Bhojpuri singer in the middle of her performance going viral. The video, which has been widely shared on various social media platforms, shows Yadav taking the stage and telling the singer to stop singing “vulgar” songs and instead sing devotional songs.
According to eyewitnesses, the singer was performing at a Makar Sankranti event in Patna when Yadav, who was also present at the event, suddenly took the stage and interrupted the performance. “Krishna ji wala bhajan gaao (sing hymns of Lord Krishna),” he told the singer, asking her to stop singing the current song and instead sing devotional songs. The crowd present at the event seemed to be taken aback by Yadav’s sudden intervention, with some people cheering and others booing his actions.
The video of the incident has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many people praising Yadav for taking a stand against “vulgar” content, while others have criticized him for trying to impose his own moral values on others. Some people have also questioned the definition of “vulgar” and who gets to decide what is acceptable and what is not.
Yadav, who is the son of former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, has been known for his outspoken and sometimes controversial statements in the past. However, this incident has sparked a wider debate on the role of politicians in shaping cultural norms and values. While some people see Yadav’s actions as a genuine attempt to promote cultural values, others see it as an example of moral policing and an attempt to impose one’s own values on others.
The incident also raises questions about the role of artists and performers in society. Should they be allowed to express themselves freely, or should they be bound by certain moral and cultural norms? The answer to this question is not an easy one, and it is likely to spark a wider debate on the role of art and culture in society.
In recent years, there have been several incidents of artists and performers being targeted for their work, with some people accusing them of promoting “vulgar” or “obscene” content. However, others have argued that art and culture should be allowed to flourish without any restrictions, as long as they do not harm anyone.
The Makar Sankranti event in Patna, where the incident took place, is a significant cultural festival in Bihar, which celebrates the harvest season and the arrival of longer days. The event is typically marked by music, dance, and other cultural performances, and it is not uncommon for Bhojpuri singers to perform at such events.
However, the fact that Yadav chose to interrupt the singer’s performance and ask her to sing devotional songs instead has sparked a wider debate on the role of politicians in shaping cultural norms. While some people see Yadav’s actions as a genuine attempt to promote cultural values, others see it as an example of moral policing and an attempt to impose one’s own values on others.
In conclusion, the incident at the Makar Sankranti event in Patna has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many people praising Yadav for taking a stand against “vulgar” content, while others have criticized him for trying to impose his own moral values on others. The incident raises important questions about the role of politicians in shaping cultural norms, the role of artists and performers in society, and the definition of “vulgar” content. As the debate continues to rage on social media, it is clear that this incident will have a significant impact on the cultural landscape of Bihar and beyond.
