Amid the uproar surrounding Diljit Dosanjh's film 'Sardaar Ji 3', featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, political leaders have rallied behind the performer. The row has ignited demands to revoke Dosanjh's citizenship, deemed unjust by Sikh leaders and politicians alike.
Trade unions, including AICWA and FWICE, criticized Dosanjh's collaboration with Aamir post-Pahalgam attack, raising concerns about nationalism. However, leaders across political lines assert that the actor's citizenship shouldn't be contingent on artistic choices made before the tragedy.
Notable figures like Congress's Partap Singh Bajwa and BJP's R P Singh emphasize Dosanjh's contribution to Indian culture on the global stage. A call has been made to reconsider the narrative around cultural exchanges and avoid politicizing artistic endeavors.
