Have always stood by India and Punjab, tweets Diljit Dosanjh in response to Ludhiana MP’s ‘supporting Khalistan’ chargechandigarhUpdated: Jun 23, 2020 13:16 ISTLeading Punjabi actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh on Tuesday took to Twitter to hit back at Ludhiana Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu’s demand for an FIR against him and another singer, Jazzy B, for “openly supporting” the demand for Khalistan, saying he has always stood by the country and Punjab. “I am an Indian taxpayer who has always stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the country and Punjab in time of need,” said Dosanjh, who is otherwise popular for his light-hearted social media posts. Dosanjh said that the movie was screened in Punjab only after the censor board’s go-ahead. So I don’t know how an FIR can be registered against singing a song and putting it on social media when it is from a national award-winning film released in 2014? “The entire nation is still mourning its soldiers, but these extremists are supporting China to disturb India and Punjab’s peace,” Bittu had said.
