His comment was misinterpreted and being presented as a message against the country and the Indian flag. “So @diljitdosanjh objects when someone waves Indian tricolour during one of his concert in US. Which passport he’s carrying? Republic of KhaIistan? Shame one those Indians who listen to such 2rs artists,” read a comment with the video.
On Tuesday night, the singer tweeted in Punjabi to address the spread of fake news and negativity surrounding his statement. He said, “Don’t spread fake news and negativity. Mai kiha eh mere desh da jhanda hai. Eh Mere Desh Lai.. Means meri eh performance mere desh lai je Punjabi nhi aundi tan Google kar leya karo yaar…Kion ke Coachella ek big musical Ffestival aa othey har desh to log aunde ne.. that’s why music sab da sanjha hai. Sahi gal nu puthi kive ghumauna koi tuadey wargeya ton sikey enu v Google kar lo,” which roughly translates to, “I had said this is my country’s flag, which she got here. This means she got my performance in my country. If you don’t understand Punjabi then please Google because Coachella is a big music festival which is attended by people across the world. That’s why music is for everyone. How to twist the right words, one should learn from you guys.”
