Diljit Dosanjh is a global icon who is ruling the stage with his ongoing Dil-Luminati India Tour concerts. The Punjabi-singer actor has a million fans worldwide and his songs are ruling the global charts. Diljit is performing in several major cities across India including Indore. A day before Diljit Dosanjh’s Indore concert, Bajrang Dal started protests after news circulated that the gig would involve the serving of alcohol and meat.
The protests took place in the city, as the Bajrang Dal were against such provisions at the concert due to its cultural implications. Due to the protests, the organizers accepted the demands but Diljit slammed them in his own way.
