Diljit Dosanjh Responds to Controversy with Love Amid Sikh Group's Threats

Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh is currently wowing fans with his Asia-Pacific Aura Tour. However, his recent appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, where he touched Amitabh Bachchan's feet, has ignited controversy ahead of his upcoming concert in Melbourne on November 1.

The Sikh group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) has threatened to disrupt the concert. In response to this tension, Diljit took to Instagram, sharing a heartfelt message about the importance of love, despite facing criticism and trolling.

During a concert in Brisbane, he told the audience, “I will always talk about love. For me, this Earth is one. My Guru says, ‘Ik Onkar.’ I was born from this earth, I got my life from 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.”

Diljit Dosanjh's Message of Love

He emphasized the idea of manifestation, stating, “Many people say, ‘We manifested and God has given us this.’ They get what they wish for. I’m surprised, why manifest so much? A person should simply think in their heart about what they want to do. Only think. God will make it happen. Keep it in your heart.”

The Controversy Explained

The SFJ's threats coincide with Sikh Genocide Remembrance Month. SFJ leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun criticized Diljit, claiming that by touching Bachchan's feet, he insulted the victims of the 1984 Sikh Genocide. Pannun accused Bachchan of inciting violence that led to the deaths of thousands of Sikhs.
