Gurdas Maan has postponed indefinitely his musical tour in Canada amid political tensions between India and Canada. The promoter of the tour took to Facebook and revealed that they have decided to push back the concert, stating that it was the ‘most responsible and necessary course of action’ at the moment. The Punjabi singer was supposed to perform in the country between October 22 and 31. Gurdas was slated to perform in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and conclude his tour in Winnipeg.
Gurjit Bal Productions, the promoter of the event, wrote in his Facebook post: “We regret to inform you that Gurdas Maan’s ‘Akhiyaan Udeekdiyan’ Canada tour, scheduled to take place this month, has been POSTPONED. We understand that this news may come as a disappointment to many of his fans and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.”
“In light of the current diplomatic unrest between the two countries and after careful consideration and assessment of the unpredictable circumstances, it has been determined that the cancellation of the event is the most responsible and necessary course of action for the time being,” they added.
“We understand the time, effort, and anticipation invested by everyone involved in the event, and we deeply regret any inconvenience this change may have caused. We will be taking the necessary steps to refund any registration fees or ticket purchases made for the event. Detailed information regarding the refund process will be shared with you directly via email/website/other preferred communication channel,” the post concluded.
They added that the concert has been postponed and not cancelled.
The relations between India and Canada are seeing an all-time low after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged, in his Parliament, the involvement of a “foreign agent” in the killing of Khalistan separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He even claimed that he had intelligence inputs and evidence that the Indian government could be behind Nijjar’s death.
