India, June 29 -- The ongoing row over the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Amir in 'Sardaar Ji 3' has led to backlash for actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh, with people calling for boycott of the movie. Some have also demanded for Diljit's Indian citizenship to be revoked.

However, amid the online flak, the Bharatiya Janata Party has extended its support to Dosanjh, calling him a "national asset" and a "global ambassador of Indian culture".

In a post on social media platform X, BJP national spokesperson R P Singh said that Dosanjh was a "celebrated artist". He said that the call by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), asking for the singer's Indian citizenship to be revoked, was "unfair" and "shockingly disproportionate"...
