Actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh, who has been a vocal voice from Bollywood lending his support to the ongoing Delhi Chalo farmer’s dharna, was seen joining the protest site at Singhu border (Delhi-Haryana border). In a video that has surfaced on social media, Diljit can be seen delivering a speech in solidarity with the protesters.
“This is a peaceful protest, it’s a farmers protest, please don’t give it any other colour. Twitter has a lot of things, but here it’s all peaceful. Please support farmers,” Diljit could be heard saying in reference to anti-protest opinions on the micro-blogging site, as well as his feud with Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut.
He also appealed to the Narendra Modi-led government to listen to the farmer’s demands. “I appeal the government to listen to our farmers. I also request to national media to show how peaceful the farmers are protesting here and not to divert the attention. This is a peaceful protest.”

However, Diljit has been constantly making headlines for his Twitter feaud with Kangana Ranaut, who he slammed for misidentifying an old protestor Mahinder Kaur for Shaheen Bagh protestor Bilkis Bano. Kangana had called her a sellout for “100 rupees.” The Udta Punjab star called her out and asked her to show respect to women from Punjab. Kangana hit back at him anf called him “Karan Johar’s pet.” The Twitter back and forth lead to Diljit being on top of Twitter trends with majority of netizens extending their support to him.
