Diljit Dosanjh’s song Pant Mein Gun from Welcome To New
York has fallen prey to controversy. If reports are to be believed, an FIR has
been lodged against Diljit for hurting religious sentiments of the Sikh
community by singing the track. A source close to Dosanjh told a leading daily
that Sikh petitioner Jasjeet Singh is irked by the number because "Sikhs
keep katar [daggers]", not guns with them.
"The petitioner has alleged that the lyrics go
against the principles of Sikhism. He suggests Diljit Dosanjh should have
respected the teachings of the community before singing the song. Diljit has
never faced a situation like this one before," added the source.
According to the report, Diljit’s team of lawyers is handling the matter. The
petition has been filed in Amritsar and Mumbai, and the hearing will take place
next month.
Just yesterday, it was reported that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s vocals for a song
in Welcome To New York may have landed director Vashu Bhagnani in trouble. And
now comes in the news about an FIR being lodged against Diljit. We wonder what
the actor-singer has to say about the matter.
