The Youth Akali Dal (YAD) in the present day alleged that Punjabi singer and lyricist Shree Brar was arrested and tortured by the state authorities on the instructions of Union Dwelling Minister Amit Shah as a punishment for writing the “kisan anthem”.

its unofficial anthem.
“The music “Swaraja piche barigate paaye hoi ne” impressed lakhs of individuals to hitch the motion, which was not preferred by the Centre in addition to the Dwelling Ministry. That is why Shree Brar has been singled out for punishment with relation to a different music he wrote a month in the past,” Romana mentioned. — TNS
