The minister also claimed that Diljit Dosanjh had earlier been pressured to join the Bharatiya Janata Party and linked the alleged refusal to the attack on the manager’s residence.

“They threaten everyone into joining their party. They had even asked Diljit Dosanjh to join the party and when he refused, there was an attack on the residence of his manager,” Cheema alleged. So far, police authorities have not issued an official statement confirming the details of the firing incident or identifying those responsible. It is also unclear whether anyone was injured in the attack.
