The Punjab State Women's Commission has taken action against Punjabi singers Karan Aujla and Yo Yo Honey Singh over allegedly offensive lyrics in their songs.

The Commission has written to the state’s Director General of Police (DGP), demanding an investigation into Aujla's song "MF Gabru" and Singh's "Millionaire", both of which are trending on social media.

She has called the lyrics "objectionable" and said they demean women's dignity.

The Commission has asked for a report on the action taken by 11 AM on August 11, urging prompt legal steps against the singers.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
