There was music, and there was a message as Diljit Dosanjh took the stage at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Friday evening.
” Punjabian Nu Na Sikhaao Ladaayia Kida Ladnaa ” (Don’t teach Punjabis how to fight).
The Punjabi singer and actor treated fans to his chart-topping hits but also took a brief pause to indirectly address the controversy surrounding his “I’m an artist, bro” remark.
A few months ago, during an Instagram Live session, Diljit Dosanjh was reportedly asked to react to the protest led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Delhi. The singer had reportedly responded, “Bro, keep me away from protests and such things. I am an artist, bro. I am not a politician. Diljit’s remarks did not go down well with CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, who criticised the ‘GOAT’ singer over his comments. Diljit later criticised police action against students protesting in the Capital. Now, at Friday’s concert, Diljit appeared to take an indirect dig at CJP. I am being quiet, so let me stay quiet. I support all of you. Punjabian nu na sikhaao ladaayia kida ladnaa (Don’t teach Punjabis how to fight). As the moment from the concert went viral, Dipke took to Instagram to pen a note expressing his admiration for the singer and urging him to let bygones be bygones. Dipke also recalled attending Diljit’s concert in the US, underlining his admiration for the singer both as an artiste and as a person.
Because i am an artist, bro, without naming anyone, he said, “I love all of you.
The Punjabi singer and actor treated fans to his chart-topping hits but also took a brief pause to indirectly address the controversy surrounding his “I’m an artist, bro” remark. Dipke said he had been hurt by Diljit’s earlier remarks but stressed that his admiration for the singer remained unchanged.
