Koo AppShocked to learn about the killing of young Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala. My sympathies with his family & friends. Those responsible must be arrested without delay. This exhibits an abject breakdown of law & order in Punjab. This is an extremely sombre and critical hour, requiring all of us to exercise restraint and statesmanship. On his part, CM must reflect deeply why Punjab under him has drifted into anarchy with total breakdown of law & order.- Sukhbir Singh Badal (@sukhbir_singh_badal) 29 May 2022
Koo AppThe death of Sidhu Musewala by firing has left my heart trembling. This grief is unbearable for a mother even more. This is not the first incident since the formation of AAP government. The murder of Sidhu Musewale is politically motivated and the government itself is responsible for it.- Parminder Singh Dhindsa (@parminderdhindsa) 29 May 2022
