Late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala's father Balkaur Singh Sidhu has refuted the rumours making rounds on social media regarding his contesting elections in the state stating that he has 'no intentions' to do the same.

In a 55-second video on the YouTube channel of his son on Saturday, the father was seen folding his hands and appealing to viewers to not pay heed to such rumours.

"I wanted to tell you that I am sad about what is going on social media. Various rumours are going on, do not believe that. I have lost my son recently and I have no intentions of contesting any election," he said.

"There is a prayer meeting on June 8, I will answer your questions then. I am not in a state to talk now," the father added.

Earlier in the day, Union Home Minister Amit Shah met the family members of the late Punjabi singer in Chandigarh.
