“If you were not here, we would not feel safe,” he told the security personnel.
Why Did Diljit Dosanjh Call A CRPF Officer On Stage?
During the interaction, Diljit invited a woman CRPF officer to join him on stage. Speaking to her, he said that looking at her reminded him of his mother.
The singer became emotional as he spoke about how rarely he gets to meet his mother, saying that he may only see her once or twice a year. Seeing the officer standing in front of him, he felt as though his own mother was there.
Diljit also revealed that his mother had called him earlier that day. Recalling their conversation, he said she had asked him to take care of himself. He reassured her that everything was fine and told her not to worry.
As he continued speaking to the officer, Diljit gently placed his hand on her head. The audience responded with loud applause, turning the exchange into one of the most touching moments of the concert.
Diljit Thanks Delhi Police, CRPF And DMRC
The singer also expressed his gratitude to the teams that helped organise and manage the Delhi concert.
In a social media post after the event, he thanked his Delhi audience and acknowledged the support of the Delhi Police, CRPF, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and BookMyShow Live.
His gesture towards the security personnel highlighted the contribution of the teams working behind the scenes to ensure that large public events run smoothly.
Why Is The Concert Moment Drawing Attention?
Diljit’s public appreciation of the police comes months after security arrangements and police action during protests near Jantar Mantar in Delhi attracted attention on social media.
In July, videos circulated online showing confrontations between protesters and security personnel during a march towards Parliament. Against this backdrop, the singer’s decision to publicly acknowledge the police and CRPF personnel at his concert has also drawn attention.
However, the emotional exchange with the woman officer remained the central moment, with Diljit connecting his appreciation for her duty to his own feelings about his mother.
