Just a day after Canada-based Punjabi singer Shubh’s tour got cancelled amid the intense backlash he is facing for his support to Khalistan, now Brown Munde sensation AP Dhillon has broken his silence and reacted to the outrage, urging people to ‘spread love not hate.’

The famous Canadian pop star, AP Dhillon, in a statement on Instagram, has shared his views on the backlash and spoke about ‘spreading love, not hate.’ He mentioned how he tried to steer clear of all the ‘social media as he knows it’s a lost cause.’

AP Dhillon on Shubh’s backlash

Taking it to his Insta story, AP Dhillon wrote, “I try to stay out of all the social mania as it is clear to me that regardless of what I say or do, it is a lost cause… someone, somewhere is going to spin the narrative to their liking and create more division. As an artist, it has become almost impossible to stay focused on your craft and do what you love. I try to be mindful of everyone’s sentiments, but it has gotten to a point where we have to second and triple guess our every move due to fear of unintentionally fuelling even more division.”

He further called out certain political groups for using artists like him for their own benefit. “Special interest and political groups constantly use our (artists’) public image as a chess piece to further their agenda, while we are just trying to make art that helps people on an individual level, regardless of their colour, race, religion, nationality, gender etc,” he added.

The Brown Munde singer then requested the netizens to focus on spreading love not hate and how they should not get involved or influence in these hate programs.

“Spread love not hate. Let’s start thinking for ourselves and not let hateful influences program our beliefs. We are ALL one. Let’s not let man-made social constructs divide us. Division has gotten us to this point but unity is the key to the future (sic),” Dhillon added.

Meanwhile, Rapper Shubh, full named Shubhneet Singh, has taken to his Instagram post saying that ‘India is his country too. I was born here. It is the land of my Gurus and my ancestors….”

Notably, Shubh’s shows in India were cancelled over his support to Khalistani groups and for sharing a distorted map of India. He has been accused of being a Khalistani supporter and allegedly has posted several posts supporting Khalistani elements.
