Chandigarh: Reacting to calls for a ban on actor Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming film Sardaar Ji-3, BJP Punjab culture cell convenor and actor Hobby Dhaliwal on Friday extended full support to Diljit Dosanjh on behalf of the party.
Addressing newspersons, Dhaliwal said that Diljit is a globally known face of Punjabi culture and at a time of national tension, attempts are being made to defame him with baseless allegations. This is unfortunate and condemnable, he said.
He clarified that the film in question was shot well before the Pahalgam incident and the shoot was conducted fully within legal norms and involved several actors, not just Diljit.
Dhaliwal expressed regret that certain elements are now demanding cancellation of his citizenship and a ban on his films - a demand that is not only unjustified but politically motivated and entirely baseless.
“Diljit is the son of this soil. Punjab stands with him - and India too,” Dhaliwal said, adding that the BJP stands firmly with Diljit.
