Diljit Dosanjh on Punjab Flood
Diljit said in his statement, “Punjab ke haalaat badh ki vajah se bohot kharab hai. Logon ke ghar beh chuke hai, fasle tabah ho chuki hai. Pashu, gay, bhains mar chuke hai. Logon ki zindagiyan barbad ho chuki hai. Punjab zakhmi hai par haara nahi hai. Punjab ki godh se uthe hai, godh liya hai aur Punjab ki godh mein marna hai. Jitne bhi peedit Parivar hai, hum unse kehna chahte hai ki hum unke saath hai. Aisa nahi ki raashan pani deke baat khatam hoti hai. Jab tak unki zindagiyan dobara nahi shuru hoti, hum unke saath hai.”
