New Delhi: After his second performance at the Coachella music festival, singer Diljit Dosanjh posted a message for those who are circulating “fake news” about him. On social media, a video of him talking about a woman waving the tricolour amid the crowd is being circulated.

“Eh mere Punjabi bhain bhraawan layi, mere desh da jhanda laike khadi aa kudi, eh mere desh layi, negativity ton bacho, music sarayan da saanjha (This is for my Punjabi brothers and sisters, this girl is holding my country’s flag. Stay away from negativity. Music is for everyone)e said during the concert.

The singer’s remark was interpreted incorrectly as being against the nation and the flag. A handful of the comments on the post criticised him, and now Diljit has struck back.

“DON’T SPREAD FAKE NEWS and NEGATIVITY. Mai Kiha Eh Mere Desh Da Jhanda Hai. Eh Mere Desh Lai.. Means MERI Eh Performance Mere desh Lai. Je Punjabi Nhi Aundi Tan Google Kar leya Karo Yaar… Kion ke Coachella Ek Big Musical Festival Aa Othey Har desh to log aunde ne.. that’s why Music Sab Da Sanjha Hai. SAHI GAL NU PUTHI KIVE GHUMAUNA KOI TUADEY WARGEYA TON SIKHEY ENU V GOOGLE KAR LEYO (I said this is my country’s flag, this is for my country… which means this performance is for my country. If you don’t know Punjabi then Google it. Because Coachella is a big music festival, people from all over the world come there that’s why music is for everyone. Someone should learn how to twist a good thing from you… Google this too),” he tweeted.

Diljit Dosanjh made music history when he became the first Punjabi singer to perform at Coachella, one of the greatest music festivals.

The singer-actor was last seen in the Netflix film ‘Jogi’. Diljit is now all set to star alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu and Kriti Sanon in ‘The Crew’.
