'Kisi ke baap ka Hindustan thodi hai’: Diljit Dosanjh takes stage despite threats

INDORE: Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh on Sunday claimed that attempts were made to prevent his performance in Indore, but he honoured his commitment to fans and arrived in the city without fear. He also recited the famous couplet, “kisi ke baap ka Hindostan thodi hai”.Dosanjh opened his live concert by asking the audience to chant ‘Jai Shri Mahakal’.“Look, this is the land of Mahakal, and nobody can stop us from coming here.

We weren’t afraid earlier and aren’t afraid today. And where is the question of you being afraid? It is your strength that has brought us here today,” he told the audience.The 42-year-old singer said he had faced considerable opposition to his visit to Indore but chose to keep his promise to his fans.“Although many attempts were made to stop me from coming here, I still came. Once I tell someone that I will come, I never back out,” he said.“Despite all the restrictions, I am standing here,” he added.Dosanjh also recited a few couplets from a popular ghazal by noted late Urdu poet Rahat Indori, including the lines, “Agar khilaf hain hone do, jaan thodi hai...

Sabhi ka khoon hai shamil yahan ki mitti mein, kisi ke baap ka Hindostan thodi hai.”Earlier, emails threatening bomb blasts at Dosanjh's Indore concert had been sent to the Indore mayor's office, three banks and three private schools. However, police described the messages as prima facie fake after an investigation.(With inputs from PTI)You Can Also Check: Gold Rate in Indore | Silver Rate in Indore | Bank Holidays in Indore | Public Holidays in Indore | Petrol Price in Indore | Diesel Price in Indore | CNG Price in Indore | LPG Price in IndoreStay updated with the latest Indore news.
