Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Ashwini Vaishnaw, confirmed the decision in the Lok Sabha while responding to a query raised by Samajwadi Party MP Anand Bhadouria. He stated that action had already been taken against the track and emphasized that the right to freedom of speech in India is subject to constitutional limitations.
“The song has already been banned,” Vaishnaw said during the parliamentary discussion. He further underlined that freedom of expression must operate within the framework of reasonable restrictions outlined in the Constitution. Referring to Article 19(2), he noted that curbs can be imposed in the interest of public order, decency, and morality.
