Ashoke Pandit Demands BOYCOTT Of Diljit Dosanjh Amid Sardaar Ji 3 Row; Says, “He’s Regular Lawbreaker, Always Promotes Pakistani Artistes”

Ever since the trailer release of his Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 3, DIljit Dosanjh has found himself courting trouble. The actor-singer has been received severe flax for collaborating with Pakistani actors including Hania Aamir as well as boycott from FWICE. Now, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit has weighed in on the controversy and also appealed for a boycott.

Ashoke Pandit Calls Diljit Dosanjh ‘Regular Lawbreaker’ Amid Sardaar Ji 3 Row

During a recent chat with ANI, Ashoke Pandit spoke at length about the entire Sardaar Ji 3 controversy and further slammed Diljit Dosanjh. The filmmaker said, “Federation of Western India Cine Employees had issued a notice of non-cooperation after the Pulwama attack. All the people will not participate with any Pakistani performer. Be it a producer, a director, a singer or a music director. No craft will involve them. If a technician works with them, it’s not only actors or performers, even the technicians will be boycotted.”

He continued, “We issued a notice of non-cooperation on the first day of the Pulwama attack. After that, we reiterated all the attacks, that our notice is still valid. We have not changed or withdrawn it. When the trailer of Sardaar Ji 3, was released, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees, which is the mother body of 36 crafts, immediately wrote a letter to CBFC and I&B Ministry, that this film should not get a census certificate, and it should not be released here.”

Ashoke Pandit: He has always promoted Pakistani performers

Stating that he hopes the CBFC agrees with their request, Pandit added, “Because I&B Ministry itself issued a notice, in which they said that if anyone participates with a Pakistani performer, we will not let his things come out. They will not get permission.”

Calling Diljit a ‘compulsive, regular lawbreaker’ who always ‘promoted Pakistani performers’, Ashoke Pandit continued, “The matter is very serious because Diljit Dosanjh is a compulsive, regular lawbreaker, as far as our industry is concerned. He has always promoted Pakistani performers, Pakistani singers, Pakistani actors. He knows the reason. When the industry is appealing to him, and there is no need to appeal to the industry, when it comes to the nation, the integrity of the nation, the internal security of the nation, even then, this person makes the same mistake again and again.”
