The Twitter account of rapper Hard Kaur was suspended on August 13, 2019, after she posted a video making derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The singer, along with Khalistan supporters, appeared in the 2.20-minute clip and spoke in favour of the Khalistan movement.
She challenged PM Modi and Amit Shah in the video and used expletives while addressing them in the clip that has gone viral on social media.
This is not the first time the artist has ridiculed a politician. In June this year, Kaur was booked for sedition for her comments on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
An FIR was registered under Sections 124A (Sedition), 153A, 500, 505 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and Section 66 of the Information Technology Act, 2000, against Hard Kaur for her remarks.
