Rapper Shubh’s India Tour Halted Over Alleged ‘Khalistan’ Affiliation

Canadian Punjabi singer and rapper Shubhneet Singh, widely recognized as ‘Shubh,’ has faced criticism for his purported endorsement of Khalistan. Recently, BookMyShow, in a statement on X (formerly Twitter), revealed the cancellation of Shubh’s “Still Rollin India Tour.” The company pledged to process ticket refunds within a period of 7-10 days.

“Singer Shubhneet Singh’s Still Rollin Tour for India stands cancelled. BookMyShow is refunding the full ticket amount to all consumers who bought tickets for the show in response to this. The refund will be reflected within 7-10 working days in the customer’s source account of the original transaction,” it said.

Earlier in the day, the ticket-booking app faced a boycott call on social media for hosting a singer who is allegedly a Khalistani sympathiser. A #UninstallBookMyShow was trending on X.

This came after a diplomatic dispute between India and Canada, resulting in the expulsion of a senior diplomat from each country. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused New Delhi of involvement in the June killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, aged 45, in British Columbia. India promptly rejected Canada’s claim as baseless.

This conflict has exacerbated the already tense relationship between the two nations and forced a halt to trade discussions.
