With constant judgement, hate-filled comments, threats and negative energy directed towards people like us, who are just doing what we love to do.”
Amritpal Singh Dhillon was on a tour of India called “Over The Top – The Takeover Tour last year. He performed in 6 cities in the country. He added, “I always admired how Sidhu was able to rise above it all. He made it look easy and stayed true to himself. Today I am praying for his family and our community. We need to do better.
