Diljit Dosanjh, one of the most popular stars of the entertainment and music world, is once again in the headlines these days for his statements. Diljit has finally spoken openly about the protests related to CJP and his silence on various issues which have become a topic of discussion recently. While answering the questions constantly being raised on social media and in public forums, he expressed his pain as to how in the past he was even labeled as ‘anti-national’ without any concrete reason. This frank statement of the singer and actor has started a new debate among his fans and political circles, let us know what he has said on this entire controversy.

Why did Diljit Dosanjh come under the scanner and what was the whole matter?

Whenever Diljit Dosanjh, who has made India famous across the world with his songs and powerful acting, does not express his direct opinion on any major social or political issue, both his critics and fans start raising questions on social media. Many speculations were being made regarding his silence even during the recent CJP protests. People were curious as to why this artist, who has made his mark at the international level, is not coming out openly on such sensitive issues. Amidst this dilemma, Diljit broke his silence and gave a befitting reply to all those critics who were questioning his silence.

Painful after remembering the wounds of the past, he said- I was called anti-national

In media interviews and his recent address, Diljit Dosanjh said in very emotional and clear words that whenever he tries to express his views in the interest of the society or the country, a section of people target him and try to prove him ‘anti-national’. He sarcastically said that some people are more interested in creating controversies than art and artists. Referring to the kind of mental harassment and false allegations he had to face in the past, he made it clear that he does not consider it necessary to give clarification on every issue every time, because the respect he has for his country and culture does not need any proof.

Social responsibility of artists and expectations of the public

This statement of Diljit Dosanjh is rekindling the old and long debate whether it should be mandatory for popular celebrities to put their stamp on every political or social performance. On one hand, fans and activists want their favorite stars to raise their voice openly on every major issue, on the other hand, a section of artists believe that they should be limited to only entertaining people and giving positive messages through their art. This entire episode has once again proved that in this era of social media, remaining silent or speaking out for any celebrity, both things become a topic of great discussion.
