Diljit has been a vocal supporter of the farmers, who are protesting and currently negotiating with the Centre to have certain farm laws repealed. Diljit entered into a Twitter feud with actor Kangana Ranaut earlier this week, over comments made by her on the ongoing protests.

Addressing the farmers at the Singhu border, he said: “Hats off to all of you farmers, you have created a new history. This history would be narrated to future generations. Farmers’ issues shouldn’t be diverted by anyone.”

Expressing his gratitude, Singga said in Punjabi, “Thank you brother, you gave ₹1 crore for the farmers, for their warm clothes, and nobody knows. You didn’t post about it. Nowadays people can’t shut up after donating ₹10.”

Diljit was supported in his stance against Kangana by members of the film fraternity such as Swara Bhasker, Mika Singh, and Richa Chadha, among others from the Punjabi industry. Taapsee Pannu and Vijender Singh also offered comments.
