Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh became the first Indian artist to perform at Coachella Vally Music and Arts Festival 2023. The singer has hit back at trolls for spreading “fake news” against him. For those unaware, some Twitter handles alleged that the singer apparently asked a girl to “take down” the Indian flag while he was interacting with the crowd during his Coachella performance.
One of the Twitter users shared a video of the singer’s interaction with the Coachella crowd. The caption read: “Diljit Dosanjh accused a girl of inciting hatred by waving Indian flag during a music performance in America. He said ‘Don’t spread hate, music belongs to everyone, not one country [Diljit Dosanjh] Do you have no respect for Indian tricolor?”
