Pb: Sikh leaders across parties back Diljit Dosanjh against call to revoke citizenship

Amid a row over singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh's film 'Sardaar Ji 3' featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, Sikh leaders from across parties have come out in Dosanjh's support, terming calls to revoke his citizenship as unfair.

CHANDIGARH:

Trade unions like the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) have criticised Dosanjh for collaborating with Aamir in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, with FWICE demanding that his citizenship be cancelled. Many social media users have also called for a ban on the Punjabi actor-musician.

Political leaders have not called for allowing the release of the film in India, but they have strongly backed Dosanjh over calls made by some to revoke the actor's Indian citizenship.
