When BJP national spokesperson backed Diljit Dosanjh

The BJP national spokesperson R P Singh and Punjab BJP’s Culture Cell Convenor Hobby Dhaliwal have extended their support to Diljit Dosanjh. BJP national spokesperson R P Singh backed Dosanjh on X, posting, “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."

Punjab BJP’s Culture Cell Convenor Hobby Dhaliwal also extended his support to Diljit Dosanjh in a press conference, saying, “At a time of the nation’s fight against terrorism, attempts are being made to defame him with baseless allegations. This is unfortunate and condemnable.”
