Politicians rubbed shoulders with fans from Punjab and neighbouring Haryana as hundreds gathered at the New Grain Market in Mansa on Wednesday morning to take part in the bhog ceremony organised by the family of Punjabi singer and Congress leader Shubhdeep Singh, popular as Sidhu Moose Wala, who was shot dead by unidentified assailants on May 29.

Condoling the death of noted singer late Shubhdeep Singh alias Sidhu Moosewala, the Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday said that the demise of the popular singer was a huge and irreparable loss for the family and fans.

In a condolence message that was handed over to the aggrieved family by Cabinet Minister Baljeet Kaur, on behalf of the Chief Minister, during Bhog and antim ardas of the departed singer, the Chief Minister said that the untimely and tragic demise of the young artist has given a shock to his fans spread across the globe.

The Chief Minister said that the void created in the music industry with the death of Sidhu Moosewala will hardly be filled in the coming future.

The Chief Minister said that though Sidhu Moosewala was a globally acclaimed singer, he remained firmly connected with his roots and continued to live with his family in their ancestral village.
