Bajrang Dal Protests Against Diljit Dosanjh’s Concert in Indore

The Bajrang Dal staged protests on Saturday against Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh's concert, scheduled for Sunday, in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. The group, affiliated with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), raised objections to the event, citing concerns over the serving of meat and liquor.

VHP member Yash Bachani stated, “We oppose the promotion of such activities that are against Indian culture. The Bajrang Dal may take to the streets to protest if the event goes ahead as planned.” He added that the group has already submitted a memorandum to the authorities, demanding the cancellation of the concert.

The protests come amid heightened cultural sensitivities, with Bajrang Dal leaders asserting that such events tarnish traditional values. Members staged demonstrations in Indore, shouting slogans and warning organizers to refrain from proceeding with the concert.

Local law enforcement has taken note of the situation, deploying additional personnel to maintain order and ensure the safety of attendees. “We are monitoring the situation closely and will take necessary measures to prevent any disruption,” a senior police officer assured.

Supporters of Diljit Dosanjh have criticized the protests, calling them unwarranted. Many fans took to social media to express solidarity with the singer, emphasizing that art and culture should not be politicized.

Despite the controversy, event organizers have not announced any changes to the concert schedule. Dosanjh, known for his global popularity and contributions to Punjabi music and cinema, has not commented on the protests.

This protest adds to a growing debate about the clash between modern entertainment and traditional values in India.
