Diljit Dosanjh launches Aura India Tour with sold-out Delhi concert

Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh commenced the India leg of his Aura Tour with a high-energy, sold-out performance at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. The event featured a large-scale production including drone shows, pyrotechnics, and lasers.

During the concert, Dosanjh addressed previous criticisms regarding his stance on political activism. Responding to backlash over his earlier remark about being an artist rather than a politician, he told the crowd, “Don’t teach Punjabis how to fight battles.” This statement follows a June controversy involving the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), whose founder, Abhijeet Dipke, later responded on social media by urging the singer to move past the misunderstanding.

The event also included a tribute to security personnel, where Dosanjh invited a female Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) officer onto the stage to express his gratitude for their service.

While the concert was a musical success, reports emerged of chaos outside the venue. Some ticket holders alleged they were denied entry despite having valid passes, leading to physical altercations and confrontations with police. The tour is scheduled to continue across India through December 20.
