Kathmandu, Aug. 29: Durgesh Thapa National Folk and Double Song Foundation Nepal, which brought a music video on Teej with controversial words, has been boycotted. A meeting of the central committee of the organization on Sunday has already decided to boycott him.
Shiva Hamal, deputy general secretary of the foundation and coordinator of the committee for reduction of distortions and anomalies, said that a decision has been taken to boycott Durgesh.
Durgesh had been in controversy since 10 days ago when he released the music video of his own words, music and voice for the song 'Beach Beach Mein 4-Khass Putali'.
Even before the song was released, the foundation had objected to the word 'Khayas Putali'. However, he has ignored the request of the foundation and made the song public.
After the foundation decided to boycott, Durgesh made his statement public on social media on Wednesday. Where he has complained of being deliberately banned and excluded.
Today, while restricting my freedom of expression, I have been allowed to repeat obscene songs that are not repetitive," he said. Which is sad I couldn't help but say that those who could not accept the change were moving at a virtual pace. May the life of 41,000 civilized and cultured members of the foundation be a thousand years old! '
He has not only raised questions about the establishment, he has also asked other artists about the song. PS: Badri Pangeni brought PEN Campus, Belauti Number One, to his in-laws yesterday. Yesterday, Prajapati Parajuli sang Lal Saree Mein in Hindi. There are many such examples, which are contradictory in themselves. '
The foundation had concluded that Durgesh's song was against the essence of Teej and that the song was an attack on art and culture. He had written a letter to Durgesh requesting him to bring the song only after changing the offensive words.
Women's groups have also objected to Durgesh's song, saying it was an insult to them. They are also going to the police.
