Haryanvi singer Masoom Sharma has revealed that his songs have been banned by the Haryana Government. According to the singer, three of his songs have been taken down by the authorities, sparking a heated controversy. Masoom Sharma has alleged that the ban is a result of a personal vendetta, claiming that a personal rivalry is at the root of this drastic action. However, the Haryana Government has cited different reasons for the ban, leaving many to wonder about the actual motivations behind this move. The singer's fans have been left stunned and disappointed by the ban and many are rallying around him, questioning the government's decision and advocating for artistic freedom.
Masoom Sharma's ban controversy has taken a new turn, with the singer alleging that the Haryana government's actions go beyond just him. He claimed that songs by fellow Haryanvi artists Narendra Bhagana and Ankit Baliyan were also removed from platforms, supposedly to create the illusion that he wasn't being targeted specifically. Furthermore, Masoom accused a senior government official of cancelling singer KD Danoda's performance at the Surajkund Mela, hinting at a larger conspiracy to stifle Haryanvi artists.
Masoom argued that the government's censorship is not only unfair but also hypocritical. While his music is being branded as promoting hooliganism, he pointed out that the government seemed to be turning a blind eye to artists who push obscenity under the guise of folk music. This selective enforcement, Masoom warned, will have far-reaching consequences for the Haryanvi music industry.
Masoom's criticism doesn't stop at the government's censorship policies. He also took aim at certain state officials, accusing them of deliberately suppressing local talent to prevent them from thriving.
