In May 2016, Harp started Stop Defaming Punjab campaign which urged people to fight against the propagation that more than 70% of the people of Punjab were into substance abuse in one form or the other. He drew a lot of flak for the campaign and was criticized by those who either had vested interests or had not actually understood the message. He was accused of being a mouthpiece for the ruling party which is thought to be primarily responsible for the widespread usage of drugs in the state. There was much hue and cry criticizing the campaign, though, individuals including renowned artists and a number of NGOs came forward to uphold the cause.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://businesswireindia.com/news/news-details/lipi-foundation-joins-harp-farmer-his-campaign-against-negative-stereotyping-punjabis/48953|title=Lipi Foundation Joins Harp Farmer in his Campaign Against Negative Stereotyping of Punjabis|date=9 June 2016|work=Business Wire India}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/Lipi-Foundation-joins-Harp-Farmer-in-campaign-against-negative-stereotyping-of-Punjabis/articleshow/52685190.cms|title=Lipi Foundation joins Harp Farmer in campaign against negative stereotyping of Punjabis|date=10 June 2016|work=The Times of India}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://prfeed.in/2016/06/lipi-foundation-joins-harp-farmer-in-his-campaign-against-negative-stereotyping-of-punjabis.html|title=Lipi Foundation Joins Harp Farmer in his Campaign Against Negative Stereotyping of Punjabis|date=9 June 2016|work=Press Release India}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.apherald.com/Business/ViewArticle/132175/Harp-Farmer-s-Mission-Stop-Defaming-Punjab%E2%80%9D-Gone-Viral/|title=Harp Farmer's Mission "Stop Defaming Punjab" Gone Viral|date=4 June 2016|work=India Herald}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://punjabtribune.com/harp-farmers-mission-stop-defaming-punjab-gone-viral.html|title=Harp Farmer's Mission "Stop Defaming Punjab" Gone Viral|date=4 June 2016|work=Punjabi Tribune|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160709063251/http://punjabtribune.com/harp-farmers-mission-stop-defaming-punjab-gone-viral.html|archivedate=9 July 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/life-style/gyan-zone/what-a-solution/249101.html|title=What a solution!|date=10 June 2016|work=The Tribune}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://channelsatrang.com/music/harp-farmer-in-new-controversy/|title=HARP FARMER IN NEW CONTROVERSY|date=31 May 2016|work=Channel Satrang}}</ref>
