Diljit Dosanjh has reportedly donated Rs 1 Crore to buy winter-wear for the farmers protesting in Delhi.The information by Punjabi singer Singga on his Instagram Stories. The star revealed that the actor made the generous donation and chose not to make a “big deal” out of it. The money will reportedly be used to buy woollen clothes and blankets for the elderly farmers who are currently braving the harsh winter in the national capital to continue their protest against the farm laws. Diljit was in the news the past couple of days for his Twitter war with actress Kangana Ranaut.
After his spat with the Queen actress a number of celebs vouched their support to the Soorma star. In the vitriolic exchange that followed, Ranaut called Dosanjh filmmaker Karan Johar's "pet", a "bootlicker" and asked if he wasn't ashamed of defending somebody who "instigated" the Delhi riots earlier this year. She also said her comments were directed towards Bilkis Bano and not Mahinder Kaur, someone she said she didn't even know. Dosanjh, a popular name in Punjabi films who shot to national fame with the 2016 drug drama "Udta Punjab", in turn asked if she was a sycophant of everyone she has worked with. "Then the list will be long," he said.
Meanwhile, Diljit Dosanjh on Saturday joined the farmers’ protest at Singhu border and addresses the protesters from the stage. “We have only one request to Centre.. please fulfil the demands of our farmers. Everyone is sitting here peacefully and entire country is with farmers,” Diljit said. Diljit’s presence at the gathering was a surprise as Delhi Police said they had no prior information on Diljit as he came to the site from Haryana. Lauding the farmers for embarking on this ‘Dilli Chalo’ protest amid freezing cold, police resistance, the singer said, “farmers have created a new history. This history would be narrated to future generations. Farmers’ issues should not be diverted by anyone.” On Friday, Diljit posted two photos of the farmers’ protest with #standwithfarmerschallange.
