Songs shouldn't advertise drugs and weapons

The complainants said that musicians shouldn't use terms that support drugs and guns. By listening to such music, young people's stamina decreases. Along with this, their perception of violence also grows. The court further stated that songs shouldn't advocate drugs and firearms. The display of weapons has also been outlawed in Punjab.
