Uttarakhand Minister Subodh Uniyal has explained his remarks about the alleged public humiliation of singer Daler Mehndi during an event in Rishikesh.
Uniyal said Mehndi had been invited because he was “a very big name” in music. However, the minister said it became apparent on stage that the singer was lip-syncing rather than performing live.
The minister said he was placed under pressure to question the performance. He described himself as both a local representative and someone associated with the organising committee.
What the minister said
According to Uniyal, people present at the event wanted the apparent lip-syncing to be questioned after Mehndi began performing. He said this pressure influenced his response at the venue.
The remarks address allegations that Mehndi was publicly humiliated. They also present Uniyal’s explanation of why the issue was raised during the programme, rather than establishing any independent finding about the performance.
The available account does not include a response from Daler Mehndi to the minister’s explanation. It also does not provide further details about the event’s date, the organising committee’s full identity or any formal action connected with the incident.
The episode has drawn attention because it involves a well-known singer, a public performance and a senior Uttarakhand politician explaining his conduct as a local representative. The central dispute concerns whether Mehndi was performing live and how that issue was handled on stage.
Conclusion
Subodh Uniyal said Daler Mehndi was invited because of his stature, but pressure from people at the Rishikesh event led him to address the singer’s apparent lip-syncing. The account describes the minister’s position on the alleged humiliation without providing a response from Mehndi or details of any further action.
