A British Member of Parliament has called for government action against actress Mehwish Hayat and Indian rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh after their music video, \u201cJatt Mehkma<\/em>,\u201d sparked outrage in the UK for featuring children carrying guns.<\/p>\n\t\t

The video, released in November 2024 and now boasting nearly 40 million views on YouTube, shows young boys joining Mehwish\u2019s character in a stylized shootout, using replica automatic weapons and shotguns. Filmed at Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire and in Birmingham\u2019s city centre, the video\u2019s depiction of minors in violent scenarios has drawn sharp criticism from both politicians and community leaders.<\/p>\n

Manuela Perteghella, MP for Stratford-upon-Avon, has formally raised the issue with the UK Home Office, expressing \u201cserious concerns about the use of imitation firearms and exposing minors to violent themes.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Deadline<\/a>, the Home Office is considering exclusion orders that could bar both Hayat and Singh from entering the UK. Such orders, if issued, are typically not made public, and the individuals involved would be notified privately.<\/p>\n

The controversy has also drawn condemnation from Shaykh Paul Salahuddin Armstrong, director of the Association of British Muslims and a chaplain at the University of Birmingham. Armstrong described the video as a \u201cprofoundly disturbing\u201d example of the \u201creckless glorification of violence,\u201d especially given its use of British children and locations. He urged child protection authorities to investigate, though the UK\u2019s media regulator Ofcom has limited power over online music videos.<\/p>\n
