Diljit Dosanjh responds to CJP criticism at Delhi concert; Abhijeet Dipke reacts
- On Saturday, singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh addressed online criticism surrounding his film Satluj during the opening of his Aura India Tour 2026 in New Delhi, defending his artistic independence from the concert stage.
- The controversy stems from June, when Dosanjh distanced himself from NEET student protests at Jantar Mantar, prompting Abhijit Dipke of the Cockroach Janta Party to mock the singer for perceived hypocrisy.
- Dosanjh defended Satluj, a film about human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, stating, "we fought for that film for a long time," despite facing 120+ censor cuts and removal from ZEE5 within two days.
- Following the concert address, Dipke posted an apology on Instagram, calling Dosanjh his "younger brother" and expressing regret for his earlier comments while acknowledging his continued admiration for the artist.
- Reaffirming his artistic independence, Dosanjh told the crowd, "Don't teach Punjabis how to fight," echoing his earlier stance that he should be kept away from political movements and protests.
