During his Aura Tour concert in Canada, Diljit Dosanjh faced disruption from pro-Khalistani protesters who attempted to enter the venue. In response, he instructed his security team to remove them, stating that while he respects the right to protest, he will not tolerate harassment of his fans. On May 11, he addressed the situation on Instagram, explaining that the issue lies in the intention behind the protest, not the symbols themselves. He expressed his commitment to spreading love and peace, despite facing threats from the Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) group, which arose after his appearance on the Indian game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) in October 2025. The SFJ accused him of disrespecting victims of the 1984 Sikh Genocide by touching the feet of host Amitabh Bachchan. Dosanjh has consistently advocated for unity and love, stating that he aims to promote harmony regardless of the negativity directed towards him.
