New Delhi: The Haryana Government on Saturday banned Hindi movie Aaja Nachle saying the decision was taken to ensure communal harmony and peace in the state.

Haryana becomes the second state after Punjab to ban the Madhuri Dixit-starrer. The Uttar Pradesh government on Saturday lifted its ban after the film’s producer Yash Chopra agreed to controversial lyrics from the title song Aaja Nachle.

All district magistrates in Haryana have been asked to take stop screening the movie in their districts and send a report to the Government immediately, an official spokesman said.

UNI reports the Haryana government banned the film after getting reports that the song had offended people belonging to scheduled castes.

The government feared possibility of violent protests and breach of peace because of the film, the a spokesperson said.

“Bazar mein machi hai maramar; bole mochi bhi khud ko sunhar" (There is so much chaos in the market that even a cobbler is calling himself a jeweller) was the objectionable line of the title song.

The National Commission for Scheduled Castes will summon the people associated with the title song for its “objectionable” lyrics.

"We will summon all the people who have performed, written and cleared the lyrics as well as the producer and director," Commission Chairperson Buta Singh has said. "The damage has already been done. The lyrics go against the two laws passed by Parliament and the Constitution itself."
