FollowDiljit Dosanjh has retaliated against trolls for spreading "fake news" and "negativity" about him after becoming the first Indian singer to perform at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2023.

A Twitter user shared a video, captioning it, "Diljit Dosanjh accused a girl of inciting hatred by waving Indian flag during a music performance in America. He said, 'Don't spread hate, music belongs to everyone, not one country @diljitdosanjh Do you have no respect for Indian tricolour?'"
The actor reverted online through a Punjabi Tweet: He tweeted in Punjabi, "DON'T SPREAD FAKE NEWS and NEGATIVITY. Mai Kiha Eh Mere Desh Da Jhanda Hai 🇮🇳 Eh Mere Desh Lai.. Means MERI Eh Performance Mere desh Lai Je Punjabi Nhi Aundi Tan Google Kar leya Karo Yaar… Kion ke Coachella Ek Big Musical Festival Aa Othey Har desh to log aunde ne.. that's why Music Sab Da Sanjha Hai.

A user supported the actor and shared a photo of fans holding the Tricolour at the singer's concert and tweeted, "From some who was actually AT THE CONCERT. With TIRANGA! Not once did we feel intimidated by the crowd, nor by Diljit. It was super welcoming and he meant "for my country." These people can never divide us! We are one. Can we stop the nonsense now?"
