Bajwa Strongly Supports Diljit Dosanjh Amid FWICE Controversy
Chandigarh 29 June ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Punjab Assembly, Partap Singh Bajwa, has come out strongly in support of acclaimed singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh amid recent calls by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) to revoke the artist’s Indian citizenship over the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Amir in Sardaar Ji 3. “I find FWICE’s demand not only unreasonable but also completely unjustified,” said Bajwa. “Diljit Dosanjh is a celebrated Indian artist who has made all of us proud on the global stage. He has taken Indian and Punjabi culture to Coachella and represented our heritage at the Met Gala – events that are prestigious platforms followed worldwide.” Bajwa emphasized that such international representation should be applauded, not questioned. “It is Indian investors who finance these creative ventures and it is the people of Punjab and India who earn livelihoods and recognition through them,” he added. “Attacking our own talent, especially someone who has consistently showcased India’s rich cultural tapestry globally, is not just unfair – it is regressive.” The Congress leader further stated that artistic collaborations should not be politicized in this manner. “In a diverse and democratic society, creative freedom and cross-border artistic cooperation are important. Let us not allow misplaced outrage to undermine the immense contribution of Indian artists like Diljit Dosanjh,” Bajwa concluded.
