Controversy regarding post on social media
Earlier, Diljit had written ‘Punjab’ in Punjabi language and had also put an emoji of the Indian flag. There was also a controversy when the Indian flag emoji was left in a tweet during an event in Bengaluru. Diljit had also posted this old post on his ex and a photo with the spelling of Punjab University.
Why is the post controversial?
Diljit, who reached Punjab for his live concert, shared the video on social media platform X and wrote – “Punjab” and a map emoji. Actually, the controversy is about the spelling of Punjab. To understand this controversy we will have to go through history. India and Pakistan were divided in the year 1947. At this time, the Punjab province was also divided, at that time the Punjab of Pakistan was written as “Punjab” and the Punjab of India’s part was written as “Punjab”. In the post, Diljit wrote PANJAB, which is the Punjabi spelling of Pakistan region.
The matter is in controversy after Guru Randhawa’s tweet.
Diljit wrote PANJAB in his post, which is a Punjabi region of Pakistan. After which Punjab’s singer Guru Randhawa in his tweet PUNJAB Wrote and posted an emoji of the flag of India. In another tweet, Randhawa said, “My soil, my country is the best country.” Unite and support the country.
