Chandigarh: Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has explicitly distanced himself from the ongoing Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) agitation taking place at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, stating that he chooses to remain completely disconnected from political matters. The multi-talented superstar clarified his stance on Wednesday evening during an interactive Instagram Live session after a fan directly pressed him for his perspective on the intensifying student-led demonstrations in the capital.
When questioned about the protests, the 42-year-old performer candidly admitted that he was entirely unaware of the situation and emphasized his strong preference to stay clear of political disputes and public demonstrations. Speaking in a mix of Hindi and Punjabi, the singer asked fans to keep him away from such matters, explaining that he is an entertainer rather than a politician, and observed that it is impossible for everything in the world to be completely perfect. He further underscored his philosophical view by quoting a sacred verse from the Guru Granth Sahib, reminding his viewers that the entire world experiences suffering and true peace is found within.
The popular actor’s clear refusal to align with the movement comes at a time when the Jantar Mantar agitation continues to gain substantial national attention. Organized by the youth-led CJP under founder Abhijeet Dipke, the demonstration has entered its second week, drawing hundreds of students, parents, and competitive exam aspirants from various states. The protesters are demanding the immediate resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan following a series of highly controversial paper leaks and structural irregularities in major national examinations, including the NEET medical entrance and CBSE on-screen marking portals. The movement recently received a major boost in visibility after renowned climate activist Sonam Wangchuk joined the site to stage a hunger strike, which has now entered its fifth day.
On his professional front, the Punjabi superstar is currently enjoying a highly successful phase in his entertainment career. He was last seen starring alongside Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari, and Vedang Raina in Imtiaz Ali’s critically acclaimed project, Main Vaapas Aaunga. The poignant drama, centered around the emotional upheavals of the historic 1947 partition, has emerged as one of the most unexpected box-office triumphs of 2026 due to strong word-of-mouth publicity. At present, the singer is completely focused on his massive global musical venture, the Aura Tour 2026, performing for packed stadiums across international venues.
