Singer Shubh Finally RESPONDS To Allegations On Being Anti-Nationalist, Says ‘India Is MY Country Too…’ (Details Inside)
Shubhneet Singh aka Shubh took to social media days after his India music tour was cancelled to deliver an official statement addressing his stance on the ongoing dispute. The musician made waves earlier this year for an Instagram story he shared that depicted a skewed map of India. The message quickly went viral on social media, and the artist was accused of supporting separatist Khalistani groups. Many famous celebrities, including Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and KL Rahul, unfollowed him on social media. Shubh took to Instagram on Thursday night to respond to the charges, writing that he was devastated by the cancellation of his show.

Shubh took to Instagram to deliver a lengthy statement on the cancellation of his India trip and being tagged as a "anti-nationalist." The artist wrote in the lengthy statement about how, as a young rapper from Punjab's heartlands, it was his lifetime desire to put his music on the global map. The artist went on to say that recent events have harmed his years of hard work and success, and that he is dismayed by the cancellation of his gigs in India.
The singer added, “India is MY country too. I was born here. It is the land of my GURUS and my ANCESTORS, who didn’t even blink an eye to make sacrifices for the freedom of this land, for its glory, and for the family.” The singer further wrote about his home state Punjab being his soul and in his blood. “Whatever I am today, I am because of being a Punjabi. Punjabis do not need to give proof of patriotism. At every turn in history, Punjabis have sacrificed their lives for the freedom of this country. That’s why it’s my humble request to refrain from naming every Punjabi as a separatist or anti-national,” the singer wrote in the official statement.

Shubh also clarified why he uploaded the post on social media earlier this year, writing that his intention was just to preach Pray for Punjab as news of power and internet outages across the state went viral. The musician went on to say that there was no other consideration behind his decision and that he didn't want to purposely harm anyone's feelings. Shubh also wrote on how the allegations have hurt him greatly and how he will continue to work hard. "My team and I will be back soon, bigger and stronger together," the singer says.
The artist was set to play in India as part of a multi-city tour. The artist was set to play in Mumbai from September 23 to 25 as part of his three-month tour in India. The artist was also set to play in New Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, among other Indian cities.
