Diljit Dosanjh addressed the controversy surrounding pro-Khalistan flags at his Aura 2026 concert in Canada, saying the issue was about disruption, not banners. “I have not spoken against any flag or banner,” Diljit said, adding that he instructed security to remove people allegedly abusing and harassing fans at the venue.

Punjabi actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh briefly halted his performance during the Aura 2026 concert in Calgary after noticing some audience members waving pro-Khalistan flags, videos of which have surfaced online. He then reportedly asked his security team to remove them from the show. Dosanjh also appeared to respond to criticism from sections of the Punjabi community and the controversy surrounding his appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati last year.

Days later, Diljit stated the controversy, saying he would not tolerate anyone harassing his fans, adding that the issue was not about the banner or flag, but the intention behind it.

On his Instagram story, writing in Punjabi, Dosanjh shared, "If someone brings a banner or flag, it usually means they want to show they've come from a certain place and support us. But if you’re standing outside with the same banner abusing my fans, and then trying to do the same thing inside the venue too, I’m not going to tolerate this."
