Ratan told PTI, âI am extremely poor. Many people have taken my songs, but have not given me credit. They can't write their own songs. They used my songs as their own. I live in a hut. I write songs of the soil. I don't have the financial strength to drag them to court.â He also added, âThere are so many writers and good people around us but nobody protested. Those singing the song donât understand its spirit and ruin its earthiness. I was aghast. Will these things continue?â
When Badshah started noticing that he has been tagged for plagiarism and after Ratanâs quotes on PTI started to garner attention, he released a statement last night stating that he had no clue that it was originally written by Ratan as it was not mentioned in any of the records and now that he is aware of the truth, he would be happy to help the singer and he is already trying but because of the lockdown, he cannot go and meet him.

Soon after he shared the statement, a few Bengalis started to comment that they approve of the song completely. Well, others too supported Badshah for explaining the truth.

Well, it would be great if Badshah takes the necessary steps to reach out to him because if Ratan can talk to the media there would surely be a way to reach out to him. Whatâs your take on the entire fiasco? Let us know in the comments below.
