Lutna Sake Lut


Lutna Sake Lut, also known by the song's full name Lutna Sake Lut, Nepal Mai Ho Chhut which translate to "Loot as much as you can, you are free to do so in Nepal" is a 2019 satirical song written and produced by Nepalese folk singer Pashupati Sharma. The music video was released in February 2019, though he later took it down after allegedly receiving threats from Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) youth wing. National Folk and Duet Song Academy Nepal (Rastriya Lok Tatha Dohori Geet Pratisthan Nepal), however, asked the artist to re-upload the song.
