He also sang about that emotional moment when Sidhu’s father took off his turban during his son’s funeral, saying:
“I have immense respect for you and your turban.”
Diljit also urged the Punjabi community to stick together as there are many who are trying to break it up.
Warning those who are targeting Punjabis and Moosewala’s memory, he said:

Another wrote: “I can feel the anger and peace that you are feeling.”

“Sold out Rogers Arena and brought the entire Punjabi culture under one roof. No one can do it like him.”
“Man truly is the GOAT @diljitdosanjh.”
