Delhi Police Denies Permission for Diljit Dosanjh's October 30 Delhi Concert Citing Security Concerns
Delhi Police denied permission for Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh's October 30 concert at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, citing security concerns, threat-related inputs, and law-and-order commitments during the festive season. The decision has sparked criticism from Aam Aadmi Party leaders, who allege bias against progressive Punjabi voices and link it to the singer's support for farmers and dissenting causes. Organisers and Dosanjh's team have yet to confirm cancellation or rescheduling, while fans await further updates amid ongoing debate over the reasons behind the denial.
