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. https://t.co/Oi3eHSiJSf
I only knew #SidhuMoosewala through his music, yet the news of his demise has cut deep. India has very few authentic modern artists. He was right on top of that list.

I'm without words. He's a legend, his voice, his courage & his words will never be forgotten.
What a sad day!
Absolutely shocking! New AAP government of Punjab's first thoughtless decision of security withdrawal. Security cover shouldn't be political decisions but based on threat perception assessment by the concerned police. Om Shanti. #sidhumoosewala

Two days ago, Kejriwal & Bhagwant Mann withdrew security given to him. Their attempt to score political brownie points has cost a life today.#SidhuMoosewala

Law and order has completely collapsed in Punjab. Criminals have no fear of law. @AAPPunjab government has miserably failed. Nobody is safe in Punjab!
Murder of Sidhu Moosewala is utterly shocking.

AamAdamiParty must be held accountable for tinkering with security issues to gain cheap publicity. @BhagwantMann @AAPPunjab
These VIPs who lost security cover in Punjab along with Sidhu Moose Wala also include retired police officers and religious and political leaders. Earlier, the state government had withdrawn the security of 184 former ministers, MLAs and private protectees. A month earlier, the security of 122 former ministers and MLAs had been withdrawn.
