A major controversy has erupted as UK MP Mehwish Hayat criticism sparks global outrage. A British Member of Parliament has demanded official action against Pakistani actress Mehwish Hayat and Indian rapper Honey Singh for appearing in a music video that features children holding guns.
The MP raised the issue in Parliament, stating that the video glorifies violence and promotes gun culture among children. He emphasized that artists have a moral duty to act responsibly when their work involves minors.
“Children must not be used to act out violent scenes with weapons. This is not art — it’s dangerous,” said the MP.
