It is being widely reported that a UK Member of Parliament has formally raised concerns with the UK Home Office regarding a music video featuring Mehwish Hayat and Honey Singh, titled ‘Jatt Mehkma’. The video has drawn sharp criticism for featuring young boys wielding imitation firearms and for what critics call a “disturbing glorification of violence.”
Sources familiar with the matter have indicated that the Home Office is considering issuing “exclusion orders” against both Mehwish Hayat and Honey Singh, which would effectively bar them from entering the UK. However, no legal proceedings have been officially announced, and the UK Home Office and West Midlands Police have declined to comment.
Mehwish Hayat has reportedly denied that any action is being taken against her, calling the claims “speculative and misleading.” Honey Singh has remained silent on the matter.
In light of the controversy, ‘Jatt Mehkma’ is reportedly no longer being considered for future playlists on BBC Asian Network.
So, while a ban has not been officially confirmed or issued yet, it is actively being considered by the UK Home Office due to the content of their recent music video.
