Sidhu was killed one day after the withdrawal of his security by the Punjab police among 424 others. The singer joined the congress party last year in December before the assembly elections.Speaking with Times of India, Balkaur said: “I cannot bear to see my son as a statue at 28 years old. We are waiting for justice. The killers, whether sitting on foreign soil or here, should be punished. Why give security to someone who openly claims that he killed Moose Wala? “The statue was erected where Sidhu was cremated.
A few days after the death of Sidhu, Balkaur had reacted to rumors on social networks and also specified the elections. In a clip of almost a few minutes on Instagram, he told Punjabi: “I am the father of Sidhu Moose Wala. I wanted to tell you a few things. I am very sad about what I see on social networks. There are different rumors that take place, do not believe it. I lost my son recently. I have no intention of contesting elections. Thank you for supporting me in these difficult times. I have a request for all of you. There is a prayer meeting on June 8, you come to meet me and answer your questions then. Currently, I am not in a state of speaking a lot. The clip was published with an emoji of folding hands. Sidhu became popular with the masses with his songs and after his death, his last song, Syl (referring to Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal) was released. The song about Punjab’s water issue talks about the Sutlej-Yamuna Link channel, which has been a problem between Punjab and Haryana for a long time.
Composed by Sidhu, the clip was published by the producer MXRCI on June 23 on YouTube. However, it was removed a few days later from the platform. The song collected more than 27 million views on YouTube and obtained 3.3 million likes.
