Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh has been receiving criticism after he spelled Punjab as 'Panjab' in a post when he announced his next concert in Chandigarh. Well, Diljit's post did not go down well with the social media users. Netizens pointed out that the spelling is mostly used by the Pakistani side of the region. Moreover, they also noticed that the singer missed adding the Indian Tricolour emoji in the post. Responding to the accusations, Diljit finally broke his silence on the allegations which he termed as 'conspiracy theories'.
On Monday, Diljit Dosanjh took to his X account as he spoke about the entire controversy. He shared a screenshot of a tweet where he did add the Indian Tricolour flag after writing Chandigarh Panjab. The singer also penned a note as he tried to clarify his stance on the post. He said, 'PANJAB, kisi Ek tweet mein agar PANJAB ke saath India flag mention reh Gaya toh conspiracy. Bengaluru ke tweet mein bhi ek jagah reh Gaya tha mention karna Agar Punjab ko PANJAB likha toh conspiracy. PANJAB ko chaahe PUNJAB likho PANJAB WILL BE PANJAB (If I forgot to mention the India flag with Panjab in one tweet, then you create a conspiracy. I missed mentioning it even in a Bengaluru tweet. If I write Punjab as Panjab, then conspiracy).'

He further added saying, 'Panj Aab - meaning Five Rivers Hats off to those who are using foreigners' language (English) to push conspiracy theories. In the future, I will write PANJAB in Punjabi, as in Gurumukhi. You guys won't stop I know. So keep going. How many times do we have to prove that we love India? Do something new or have you been given a task to create conspiracies around me?'

Bother Shother ni karda Mai Eh Vaar vaar Tweets kar ke Jhoothi gal nu v Sach bana dende aa Tan counter karna zaruri aa (I don't bother about these things, but repeatedly tweeting false claims makes them seem true, so it's necessary to counter them) (sic)'.
