Controversies

The song had to face many controversies after its release due to its portrayal of ex female Maoist's as a sex worker.[2] Many Maoist's personnel have condemned the way song has portrayed the lack of a female guerrilla fighting the Maoist people's war through prostitution. Plus the song is also alleged as a conspiracy to affect the Maoist's position in upcoming local election.[3][4][5][6] Pushpa Kamal Dahal (Prachanda) chairman of CPN Maoist Centre has expressed his view to not oppose the song.[7] After the controversy peaked, Prakash Saput censored and removed the wrangled scenes from the video and re-uploaded it to YouTube.[8]
