“There is no space for Khalistanis who are the enemy of the integrity and unity of India. We won’t allow Canadian singer Shubh to perform in the auspicious land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Mumbai. If no proper action is taken, then the organizers will have to face our opposition,” BJYM President Tajinder Singh Tiwana said as quoted by the news portal. BJYM has also demanded the cancellation of Shubh’s shows in India.Shubh is scheduled to perform in Mumbai from September 23 to 25 as part of the Cruise Control 4.0 event, organised aboard the Cordelia Cruise. He also has a three-month-long tour in India under which he will be performing in several other cities including New Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
Members of BJYM recently tore down Shubh’s posters and alleged that the singer supports separatist Khalistani elements. Shubh’s social media post depicting a distorted map of India, omitting Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir has also gone viral, leaving all disappointed. According to a Hindustan Times report, the viral post was shared by Shubh when the Punjab Police was hunting for a fugitive named Amritpal Singh.
Khalistani Canadian rapper and singer Shubhneet Singh, better known by his stage name Shubh, had earlier shared a distorted map of India, which did not include J&K, North-East, Punjab.
