Bajrang Dal protests against Diljit Dosanjh’s concert
Well, the members of the Bajrang Dal had protested against Diljit’s concert and accused him of making anti-national remarks during the farmers’ protests. They even accused the singer of alleging his support for Khalistan. Bajrang Dal leader Avinash Kaushal said, ‘Diljit has made anti-national remarks several times during the farmers’ protest. He is also a supporter of Khalistan. We will not allow such a person to hold an event in the city of Maa Ahilya. We have submitted an application to the administration demanding the cancellation of the show. If the event still takes place, we will protest in our own way’.
Tannu Sharma, another leader of the group said, ‘Our protest isn’t against the concert itself but against drug and alcohol consumption associated with such events. It’s against our culture.’
Amid the controversy, various strict measures were enforced at the concert. No meat or alcohol was served in the concert and there was high security. Meanwhile, Indore’s Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police said that the cops are taking public safety, women’s security, and drug abuse seriously.
