Shubh issues statement after Kangana Ranaut slams him for his hoodie featuring attack on Indira Gandhi

Canadian singer Shubh has addressed the controversy surrounding the hoodie incident at his recent concert. Responding to online criticism and comments from actor Kangana Ranaut, Shubh called for an end to the spread of hate. Earlier reports had alleged that Shubh was glorifying the death of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhiby wearing a hoodie on stage with a picture and date of Indira Gandhi’s assassination on the map of Punjab.However, Free Press Journal reported that the controversial hoodie did not actually feature an illustration of Indira Gandhi. A video also showed that the hoodie was thrown at Shubh by a fan.
Reacting to the incident, Kangana took to X and wrote, “Celebrating the cowardly killing of an old woman by those who she appointed as her saviors. When you are trusted to protect but you take advantage of the trust and faith and use the same weapons to kill the ones were suppose to protect then it’s a shameful act of cowardice not of bravery. One must be ashamed of such a cowardly attack on an elderly lady who was disarmed and unaware, a lady who was the chosen leader of a democracy, nothing to glorify here Shubham ji. Shame (sic).”
The singer said in a statement, “No matter what I do, some people will find something to bring it against me. A lot of clothes, jewellery and phones were thrown at me by the audience at my first show in London. I was there to perform, not to see what got thrown at me and what is on it. The team has worked very hard for the last couple of months to perform for you all. STOP SPREADING HATE AND NEGATIVITY.”
