Former diplomat KC Singh tweeted, “Firing in #Punjab on singer Sidhu Moosewala, who joined Congress before election. AAP Gov withdrew his security yesterday & of many other politicians saying police needed for law & order. Seemed like political vendetta and not proper reading of threat to individuals.”

Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala wrote on Twitter, ‘Deeply shocked at the broad day light murder of Sidhu Moosewala. Punjab & Punjabis across the world have lost a talented artist with mass connect, who could feel people’s pulse. My heartfelt condolences to his loved ones and fans across the world.”
