The controversy revolving around Sardaar Ji 3 has now also spread across the actors who have been supporting the stars involved in the movie. Recently, a complaint has been filed against the Punjabi singer Jasbir Jassi for supporting Diljit Dosanjh and his decision to work with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir.
According to the preliminary information, a complaint has been filed against him at the Parliament Street police station, Delhi. The complaint has been registered for sharing support towards the Pakistani artists.
Certain reports have claimed that the support by Jasbir Jassi is against the national sentiments. It is worth mentioning that this wave started following the horrific Pahalgam attack.
Along with this, some people are also terming his statement as a remark against or disregarding soldiers, who are martyrs for the protection of the country.
Notably, the statement by Jasbir Jassi has spread across the social media like a wildfire and people are blaming him for his statement.
What exactly did Jasbir Jassi say?
Punjabi singer Jasbir Jassi during a recent interview extended his support towards Diljit and his latest film. The statement by him can be quoted as, ““I'm seeing how Diljit Dosanjh and his film are facing protests on social media because that film also stars a Pakistani artiste. I respect people's sentiments that we should love our country and that we should stand by our country. But why these double standards? If you don't want any Pakistani artists singing, acting or working in any Indian film, you want to ban them. But 80% of the songs of our industry have been stolen - be it their tunes or words or the entire songs. There are so many songs in our films that have been sung by the artists of that country… So, why these double standards? Either get rid of all those songs from YouTube, Spotify and other digital platforms.”
Reportedly, he furthermore stated, “But not like this, you take just one artist and start protesting against them. It's like someone came to your house with something to eat, and then you start calling them the enemy, but you keep eating the things or sweets they brought along with them. If you want to ban, ban them completely. Get all that content available in the world lifted.”
