Minister Harjit Sajjan had requested to provide 100 soldiers of 'Canadian Armed Forces

Canada's Emergency Preparedness Minister Harjit Singh Sajjan requested 100 military personnel from the Canadian government to be included in the musical show of Punjabi singer and film actor Diljit Dosanjh in Vancouver (British Columbia), but his request was not accepted. The commanders of the Canadian Armed Forces rejected this request. Actually, these jawans were needed to stand back for an item during Dosanjh's show, as per the demand of Minister Sajjan. 

Minister Harjit Sajjan had requested to provide 100 soldiers of 'Canadian Armed Forces' on April 27. But even then, time was short and even army personnel could not be available for such a ceremony. Therefore, their request was rejected. The Canadian media has now picked up this news on a large scale.

It is worth mentioning here that there was a huge crowd of 54,000 people in this musical show of Diljit Dosanjh. Before this, such a large number of viewers had not joined any of Dosanjh's foreign shows. This program also became a record. Dosanjh's tour began on April 28 and ended on July 13 at the Rogers Center in Toronto.

Harjit Singh Sajjan received a letter from Sonali Singh, Dosanjh's manager, on 15 April, requesting Canadian soldiers to attend Dosanjh's performance at BC Place on 27 April. The gentleman sent this letter to Defense Minister Bill Blair with his recommendation. According to Sajjan's press secretary, the minister saw this as an opportunity for the military to connect with young Canadians from diverse communities.

Harjit Sajjan had attended the concert with his family and had bought his tickets and paid all the other expenses himself. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also participated in this program held in Toronto on July 15. He had suddenly arrived at the Dosanjh program and praised him.
