Sonu Nigam’s post viral

Sonu Nigam has told about everything that happened on the evening of the concert on his Instagram account. Sonu Nigam says that with love, ‘Kannada Kannada Kannada’ is different from threatening. According to the singer, as soon as he sang the first song, 4-5 boys from the audience started threatening him to sing in Kannada. He said that there are 4-5 people in every city, who should tell you in the first time that they cannot threaten you, otherwise these people become a fork for you. Sonu Nigam also said that Kannada people are very good and they should not be misunderstood.

Demand for action against Sonu

On May 2, Kannada’s pro -Kannada organization Karnataka Raksha Vedika in Bengaluru demanded legal action against singer Sonu Nigam. The organization said that Sonu Nigam’s statement is ‘inflammatory and dividing the community’. In such a situation, the head of the organization Dharmaraj lodged a written complaint at the Alalli police station. In his complaint, Dharmaraj accused Sonu Nigam of insulting the Kannada people and inciting hatred among linguistic groups. The complaint said, “Sonu’s statement has hurt the sentiments of the Kannada community deeply, hatred between various linguistic communities in Karnataka and this is likely to erupt violence.” During the concert, a student asked Sonu Nigam to sing in Kannada. In response to this, the singer gave an objectionable statement, saying, “The accident occurred in Kannada, Kannada, Kannada, that is why the accident occurred in Pahalgam.” He pointed to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Kashmir, in which more than 25 people lost their lives. By associating a simple request to singing Kannada songs with a terrorist attack, Sonu Nigam has insulted the Kannada community and described their cultural pride and linguistic identity as equal to violence and intolerance.

He stopped the presentation in the middle and said, “I have sung songs in all languages.” But the best songs of my life are in Kannada. Whenever I come among you, I come with great love. We do shows every day, but whenever there is a show anywhere in Karnataka, we come with great respect because you guys consider us like our family.
