Diljit Dosanjh made the evening of October 30th in Delhi truly special with his concert. As part of his ‘Aura India Tour 2026’, he entertained hundreds of thousands of his fans. During the show, Diljit also addressed the criticism directed at him, responding to questions raised regarding the ‘CJP protest’ and the film ‘Satluj’.
At the concert, Diljit Dosanjh spoke about a previous statement he had made in the context of the protests surrounding the NEET paper leak where he had asked to be kept out of the issue, emphasizing that he is an artist. This remark had drawn significant criticism. Abhijeet Deepke, of the ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ (CJP), had also targeted Diljit. Diljit Targets CJP
Addressing this controversy, Diljit directly targeted CJP, stating, “I love you all, because I am an artist. If I am choosing to remain silent, then let me stay silent. I support you all, but do not teach Punjabis how to fight. The film you are making a mockery of on stage a film about Jaswant Singh Khalra is one for which we fought a long battle. I love you all. Even if someone hates us, it doesn’t matter; I still love you all.” These remarks by Diljit Dosanjh have reached Abhijit Deepke, who has since responded to the singer’s statement. Addressing Diljit’s criticism, Abhijit wrote, “Paaji, back in June, when we were protesting, something you said felt a bit hurtful. It wasn’t that I held any personal grudge against you; rather, it was because I have always viewed you as someone who raises their voice for a cause just as you yourself had once stated.”
He further added, “To be honest, I have always been a fan of yours, and I remain one to this day. I still listen to your music. In fact, just before returning to India this May, I even attended your concert in Chicago not merely to enjoy your music, but also because I have always held a great deal of respect for you as an individual.” Praising Diljit, Abhijit further wrote, “Your candid style, your steadfastness in your convictions, and the way you have brought global recognition to India while remaining deeply rooted in your own culture I have always admired all these qualities in you. Perhaps that is why your comment stung a little at the time; I have always held you in such high regard.”
He added, “However, a disagreement on a single point or a misunderstanding has not diminished the respect and love I hold for you. In any case, *Paaji* (elder brother), please consider me your younger brother and let bygones be bygones. And finally, I would just like to say: a true *gabhru* (young man) speaks sweetly even to his adversary and you, after all, are a *Jatt* so let’s move past this, my dear.”
