  • India-Canada Tension: Headphone company boAt shocks Canadian singer, withdraws sponsorship before India tour

    India-Canada Tension: Tension between India and Canada is at its peak. Relations have increased after a major allegation by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He had said on Monday that Indian agents may have a hand in the murder of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Hardeep Singh, whom Canada is claiming as its citizen, was a Khalistani terrorist for India. After this case, the impact has started being seen in many other areas also. Consumer electronics brand boAt has withdrawn its sponsorship from Canada-based Punjabi singer Shubh’s upcoming India tour. However, the reason for this is not a recent case. In a post shared on ‘X’, the company wrote that the sponsorship has been withdrawn due to some comments made earlier this year. boAt wrote- We are first and foremost a true Indian brand. When we came to know about the comments made by Shubh earlier this year, we decided to withdraw our sponsorship. This is not the first step taken for good. Recently, cricketer Virat Kohli had also unfollowed Shubh on Instagram. Shubh had posted a wrong map of India, after which Virat Kohli unfollowed him. Jammu and Kashmir was missing from the map shared by Shubh in his post. Shubh’s full name is Shubhneet Singh. His performance is to be held in Mumbai from 23rd to 25th September this month. Shubh’s performance is also to be held in cities like New Delhi, Bangalore. Boat has made this announcement at a time when the Canadian Prime Minister’s absurd allegations have increased the sourness in relations with India.
