Sahney shared his appeal on X (formerly known as Twitter), describing Diljit as a source of pride for Punjab and a voice representing India internationally. He highlighted the significance of November 1 for families who continue to remember the victims of the 1984 violence.
He wrote, “Diljit bhaji, you are Punjab’s pride and India’s voice to the world. But 1st November is the anniversary of the 1984 Sikh genocide in Delhi. For thousands of families, those days are still full of grief.”

The MP then requested that the singer’s team move the Delhi show at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium to another date, adding: “Please ask your team to move the Delhi show at JLN Stadium scheduled for ist nov to another date. Honour the memory, then celebrate the music. #1984SikhGenocide @diljitdosanjh @hskalka @hsphoolka @mssirsa @LiveNation.”
Why November 1 Holds Significance
The 1984 anti-Sikh violence followed the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by two of her Sikh bodyguards. Sikhs across India faced widespread, organised attacks in the aftermath, with Delhi among the worst-affected areas.
Sahney’s appeal centres on the date of the proposed concert and the continuing grief associated with the violence.
