After his second performance at the Coachella music festival, singer Diljit Dosanjh sent a message to those spreading ‘fake news’ about him. A video of him speaking about a woman waving the tricolor in the crowd is being circulated on social media. “Eh mere Punjabi bhain Prava layi, mere desh da Chanda laike khadi aa kurdi, eh mere desh layi, negativity ton bacho, music sareyan da sanjha a,” he said during the concert. Avoid negativity at all costs. Everyone can enjoy music).”
His remark was edited and presented as a message against the country and the flag. “So Diljit Dosanjh gets upset when someone waves the Indian tricolor during one of his concerts in the United States.” Which passport does he have? What is the Republic of KhaIistan? “Shame on those Indians who listen to such 2rs artists,” one commenter on the video said.
Diljit has finally responded. He said in a tweet, “DO NOT SPREAD FAKE NEWS AND NEGATIVITY.” Mai Kiha Mere Desh Da Jhanda Hai. Eh Mere Desh Lai is an abbreviation for MERI Eh Performance Mere Desh Lai. Google Karleya Karo Yaar, Je Punjabi Aundi Tan… Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Aa Othey Har desh to log aunde ne… this is why Music Sab Da Sanjha Hai is so popular. SAHI GAL NU PUTHI KIVE GHUMAUNA KOI TUADEY WARGEYA TON SIKHEY ENU V GOOGLE KAR LEYO (I said, “This is my country’s flag, this is for my country…” Look it up on Google if you don’t know Punjabi.
Because Coachella is a large music festival attended by people from all over the world, music truly is for everyone. Someone should teach you how to twist a good thing… Look it up as well).”
Fans of the singers rallied behind him. “Continue to shine. “Lalli challi di parwah ni karidi (don’t be concerned about the haters),” one wrote. “I am very proud of you. Continue to rock and make India proud. We adore you. Regardless, bash on.”Jai Hind,” said another.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa, a politician, also called out the trolls. “It would be preferable if @pun_fact began posting complete videos.” This concert was dedicated to India and Punjab by @diljitdosanjh.
