Sabhi ka khoon shaamil hai iss mitti mein, kisi ke baap ka Hindustan thodi hai." These lines were met with a phenomenal response at the concert. Now, singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya has fired back at Diljit for his "kisi ke baap ka Hindustan thodi hai" remark. He took to his Instagram handle and dropped a video including Diljit's clip from the concert. Bhattachary further incorporated his own reaction to the statement saying, "Hindustan hamare baap ka hamare baap ke baap ke baap ke purvajo ka hain."

"Fakeness ke saath woh kuch nahi karta hai (He doesn't fake things). No one asked him to do it. At the end of all his concerts, he says, "Main hoon Punjab", with the Indian flag," Imtiaz shared.
