Calling the FWICE stance "shockingly disproportionate", BJP national spokesperson RP Singh posted a sharply worded defence on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), saying, "@diljitdosanjh is not just a celebrated artiste – he’s a national asset and a global ambassador of Indian culture."

Singh highlighted the timing of the film's production, pointing out that it started well before the Pahalgam incident.

"If there is anguish, it can be expressed through a boycott or by urging that the film not be screened in India. But attacking Diljit’s patriotism and demanding such an extreme step is simply irrational," the BJP leader wrote.
