Punjabi-Canadian singer Shubh says 'disheartened by cancellation of India tour'

A day after India tour of Punjabi-Canadian singer Shubhneet Singh’s was cancelled, the singer, popularly known as Shubh, on Thursday said he was “extremely disheartened by the cancellation of my tour in India”.

“I was highly amped up and enthusiastic to perform in my country, in front of my people. I was practicing with my heart and soul for the last two months. And I was very excited, happy, and ready to perform. But I guess destiny had some other plans.,” Shubh said in an Instagram post.

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.

And Punjab is my soul, Punjab is in my 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.”
