Pannun Group Threatens Diljit For Respectful Gesture To Big B; Singer Replies With Love

MUMBAI -Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh reaffirmed in social media that he will continue to spread the message of love and unity, no matter the circumstances.

Diljit’s post comes a day after reports surfaced that he had received a threat from the US-based pro-Khalistan group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), led by Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. The outfit issued a warning against the singer’s upcoming concert in Australia, scheduled for November 1, following what it described as a ‘contentious’ exchange with Amitabh Bachchan.

The controversy began after Diljit’s recent appearance on ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 17’, where he greeted Amitabh Bachchan by touching his feet as a mark of respect. However, SFJ took issue with the gesture, alleging that it disrespected the victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. In a statement, Pannun claimed that Diljit’s act “insulted every victim, widow, and orphan of the 1984 Sikh Genocide.”

The ‘Udta Punjab’ actor shared a video from his recent concert in Brisbane. In it, Dosanjh said in Punjabi, “Always keep talking about love. For me, this earth is one. My Guru says, ‘Ik Onkar.’ So, this earth is one. And I was born from this earth. I am the life of this land and one day I will return to this soil. So, there is only love from my side for everyone, even if someone gets jealous of me or trolls me. I will always spread the message of love. I have always done so. I don’t care how anyone feels about it. Punjabi aa gaye oye.”

“Many people say, ‘We manifest that God has given us this. They get that thing. I am surprised. Why are you manifesting so much? A person should only think in his heart, what he has to do. Only think. God will make it happen. You should keep it in your heart,” he added. (IANS)
