Chandigarh, May 13, 2026: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday alleged that Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh was facing political pressure from the BJP to enter politics, and criticized what he called “dangerous methods” of intimidation.
Speaking in Delhi, Mann said that reports had surfaced in recent days claiming Diljit was being pressured to join politics. He added that the singer had made it clear he wanted to remain focused on his artistic career.
“In the last few days, it was heard that Diljit was being pressurised by the BJP to enter politics. Diljit has clearly said that he is an artist and enjoys his work,” Mann said.
The Punjab Chief Minister further alleged that when such pressure tactics fail, attempts are made to intimidate people through indirect means.
“Then, there are other ways of creating pressure by shooting at someone’s manager and such things. This kind of politics should not be done,” he remarked.
