Satinder Sartaaj's Accusations
In April, 2009 Tarlok Judge, a Ferozepore based Punjabi poet, accused Satinder of using one of his couplet "Aasan aag de vastar paune ne, nazdik na ho" published on page 24 of his book Ehsaas de Zakham in his song. Tarlok went on to claim that in this song, Satinder has used couplets by various Punjabi writers without giving due credit. He warned of leveling charges in court in the case he refuses to aplogize.[6] In his defense, while on a radio show outside India, Sartaaj stated that up till 2004 he used to sing the writings of other poets and credit the writers by their names where ever he performed, and that he has never employed any other writer's work in the songs that he has released in the market. He also said that he is ready to apologize to anyone he may have offended.
