  "account": "Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh faced backlash over his \"I'm an artist, bro\" remark during his Aura India Tour concert in New Delhi. Responding to the criticism, particularly from Abhijeet Dipke, the leader of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), Dosanjh addressed the controversy surrounding his decision not to join the student protests earlier this year. The singer emphasized that he would stay quiet and support his fans but warned against teaching Punjabis how to fight. He also defended his film based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, which had been mocked during the CJP protests. Dosanjh further stated that Punjabis didn't need lessons on fighting battles. Abhijeet Dipke responded to Dosanjh's remarks on social media, expressing his admiration for the singer and clarifying that his disagreement didn't change his respect for Dosanjh.",
