Diljit Dosanjh receives support from BJP amid calls to revoke citizenship over 'Sardar Ji 3'
— rpsinghkhalsa (@rpsinghkhalsa) Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has gotten support from BJP national spokesperson RP Singh and former DSGMC chief Manjit Singh G amid backlash for his film ' Sardaar Ji 3 ' starring Pakistan actor Hania a post on his X account on Friday R P Singh described Dosanjh as "a national asset and a global ambassador of Indian culture" and slammed the Federation of Western India Cine Employees for demanding action against the celebrity."FWICE's call to revoke his Indian citizenship over an inadvertent and pre-incident film shoot is not only unfair but shockingly disproportionate. The film featuring a Pakistani actress was shot before the Pahalgam attack. If there is anguish, it can be expressed through a boycott or by urging that the film not be screened in India. But attacking Diljit's patriotism and demanding such an extreme step is simply irrational," he wrote."Did FWICE or others object then? TV news channels routinely invite Pakistani guests to boost TRPs. Should those anchors now relinquish their citizenship too? Let's not cheapen nationalism or weaponise patriotism. FWICE should reconsider its stance—such targeting of our own talent only weakens our moral standing," he Punjabi actor and BJP culture cell convener Hobby Dhaliwal extended support to Diljit at a press conference at the party's Chandigarh said that Diljit was not just an artist but a globally respected face of Punjabi culture . "At a time of national tension, attempts are being made to defame him with baseless allegations. This is unfortunate and condemnable," he said."Diljit is the son of this soil. Punjab stands with him—and India too," Dhaliwal expressed regret and disappointment over certain elements demanding the cancellation of the artist's citizenship and a ban on his films."Every citizen is patriotic, but using this as a pretext to target a single artist is wrong. BJP stands firmly with Diljit Dosanjh," he Akali Dal leader and former Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee chief Manjit Singh GK too issued a statement in Diljit's support and questioned "selective targeting" of Diljit.(With TOI inputs)
