On Thursday, the Delhi Police have denied permission for Diljit Dosanjh's scheduled October 30 concert at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium due to security concerns.
The singer’s show, part of his Aura India Tour, reportedly did not receive security clearance after police reviewed the request to organise the event.
According to a letter reportedly addressed to ticketing platform BookMyShow by the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, South Delhi, the request could not be approved due to threat-related inputs, security requirements during the festive season and other law and order concerns.
Saurabh Bhardwaj, the Delhi AAP President, condemned the denial of permission for Diljit Dosanjh's concert at JLN Stadium in Delhi, calling it "India's misfortune."
AAP leader alleged that the Indian government is targeting artists who spoke against it, citing the denial of permission for Diljit Dosanjh's concert at JLN Stadium in Delhi. He praised the singer for raising his voice in support of protesting farmers and students, saying the move could make Dosanjh a “superhero for the youth.”
While talking to ANI, Bhardwaj said, "It is India's misfortune that when an industrialist makes money or a star becomes a superstar, they start fearing the government. You don't see this in other countries. But Diljit Dosanjh is among the few artists who raised his voice for farmers when they were sitting at the borders and for students when police allegedly used brutality against them. I believe the government is sending a message to superstars that if they speak against it, their work will be shut down. Because of such actions, Diljit Dosanjh will become a superhero for the youth." (ANI)
