Diljit Dosanjh Faces Threats from Khalistani Group Ahead of New Zealand Concert
Digital Desk
Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has come under renewed threats from Khalistani extremists, with his upcoming concert in Auckland, New Zealand, reportedly targeted for disruption. The warnings follow earlier incidents in Australia and a direct threat from US-based Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
The controversy stems from accusations by pro-Khalistan groups that Dosanjh insulted the victims of the 1984 Sikh genocide. During his recent tour, his show in Perth, Australia, was disrupted by individuals raising pro-Khalistan slogans. Authorities and event organizers have since been alerted to potential security concerns for upcoming shows, including the Auckland performance scheduled in the coming days.
Despite the mounting threats, Dosanjh has remained composed and continued his global tour. After his Adelaide concert, the singer posted a message on social media thanking fans for their support and urging them to focus on actions rather than circumstances. “Stay stress-free and focus on what you can control,” he wrote, reinforcing his commitment to his work and performances.
Security arrangements for the Auckland event are expected to be tightened, with local law enforcement coordinating with concert organizers to prevent any untoward incidents. Fans attending his shows have been advised to follow official guidance and report any suspicious activity.
Diljit Dosanjh, who has a large international fan base, has faced intermittent opposition from Khalistani groups over his remarks and public statements. Despite these pressures, he continues to attract large audiences at his concerts across Australia, New Zealand, and other countries.
The situation highlights the continuing challenges artists face while performing internationally amidst politically sensitive issues. Organizers, fans, and local authorities are now closely monitoring developments to ensure the safety of the performer and attendees.
Authorities are also in touch with international security agencies to assess and mitigate potential threats linked to extremist groups targeting public figures abroad.
