Another added, “It is sheer stupidity to make this comparison. The money spent to attend a concert is distributed amongst all the people involved. Here DTC is running at a financial loss of 3000 crore. It is a good thing to provide facilities to women, but sinking DTC, what kind of honesty and morality is this?”

“Aur safety gai tel lene jese paani free milega par usko pi k hospital jana padega is silent,” another user added.

One user questioned, “Dono ka kuchh to relation hai kya?”

“All these political parties consider women to be weak. Brothers, today's women want to be independent, that is why give facilities to men because men are weak.”

Some other criticised, “Kya haal hogya AAP ka advertisement k liye Diljit ka naam use krna pad raha h”

One more questioned, “What kind of post is this ???”

Delhi Police's creative post

Earlier, Delhi Police too had shared a creative post to warn people against fraudsters who may try to prey upon desperate Diljit Dosanjh fans with a fake link for concert tickets. The Delhi Police post advised fans to make payment for concert tickets only after verifying the link.

“Paise Puse Baare Soche Duniya, Alert Rehkar Online Fraud Se Bache Duniya!,” Delhi Police captioned the video. Reacting to the post, Diljit Dosanjh shared a screenshot of Delhi Police's warning on his Instagram account.
