In a shocking turn of events, renowned Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh sparked controversy when he refused to sing songs promoting alcohol at his Hyderabad concert in Telangana just hours ahead of the event. The notice, issued by the Telangana government, specifically asked singers not to perform songs that glorified alcohol, violence, and drugs.

However, Dosanjh took a bold stance against the government's directive, choosing instead to showcase his love for devotional music at his Ahmedabad concert several weeks later. When asked why he didn't sing on alcohol despite getting no notice in Gujarat, Dosanjh explained that it was because the state is dry but clarified that he would never make songs on alcohol regardless of any move by the government.

In a surprising turn of events, Dosanjh proposed a "Dry Nation Movement" to address the issue, where he promised to refrain from creating songs related to alcohol if such a movement were to materialize. The proposal has been drawing reactions, with most fans rallying in support for the singer while criticizing the Telangana government over its notice.

Dosanjh's Dil-Luminati Tour is set to conclude on December 29 after his final concert in Guwahati, and he will be performing in Lucknow on November 22. The video of Dosanjh sharing his proposal has garnered significant attention online, with fans praising the singer for standing up against censorship.

The viral post, shared by Diljit Dosanjh's official handle, garnered an astonishing 176K views mere hours after it was posted. What prompted Dosanjh to take such a bold stance remains unanswered, but one thing is certain: the singer has secured himself even more spots in the hearts of his beloved fans.
