Haryanvi singer Masoom Sharma clarified remarks made during a live show in Jind that sparked protests from the Haryana Sarpanch Association. He explained his request for a former Sarpanch to leave the crowded stage was to see his musicians and said the controversial comment was a common local proverb, not a personal insult. Sharma offered to retract his words if anyone felt offended. The association demanded a public apology and warned of statewide opposition if the issue was not resolved.
