What happened between Daler Mehndi and Subodh Unyal?
The controversy dates back to October 18, when Daler staged a demonstration at the Siddhpeeth Maa Kunjapuri tourism and development fair in Uttarakhand. During the performance, Minister of State Subodh Unyal went on stage and stopped the singer and accused him of performing under the influence of alcohol.
“There is Durga Mata’s program for Navratri, and you are drinking and singing at the event, which is not right. We invited you to entertain our people. You are fooling us, this is wrong, this is wrong. You were invited because you have a big name, you cannot even speak, how will you sing?”
The minister later claimed that Daler was paid Rs 35 lakh for the event. Mika Singh defended his brother, saying that Daler does not drink alcohol, and apologized for the alleged public insult.
Many celebrities including Rajpal Yadav, Anupam Kher, Kapil Sharma and Badshah also supported the singer.
