New Delhi: On Sunday, singer Sidhu Moose Wala would have turned 29. Days after his security cover was withdrawn last year, he was shot by attackers on bikes. Sidhu Moosewala's mother Charan Kaur posted a heart-wrenching message on Instagram on the first birth anniversary of the popular singer's death, remembering the day he was born.
A day after the Punjab government withdrew his security cover, which was made public, Sidhu Moose Wala was shot and killed in the Jawaharke hamlet of the Mansa region of Punjab on May 29 of last year. In a Punjabi post on Instagram, Charan Kaur recalled the moment her baby was born and how she held him in her arms. She described how Sidhu Moose Wala crossed the world while "being in his village" through his work and experienced the "truth" through his eyes.
"Happy birthday son, on this day, my wishes and prayers came true when I held you for the first time, felt in the warmth of the bosom. And I came to know that Akal Purakh gave me a son. Blessings, I hope you know there was a slight redness on the small feet, who did not know that these small steps had travelled the whole world while sitting in the village, and thick eyes with which you would see and recognize the truth. They did not know that you were giving the generation of Punjab a different view of the world."
She further added, "Gone will be your pen, which was the identity of these qualities, which was held by your illusion-like small hands, which I did not know, that these hands had the ability to change the ages, and the head holding a precious crown like a turban had illusionary hair, which I did not know when I would tickle for the last time. If at that time the Akal Purakh had told me that the son of whom I had become a mother, he was born to guide the world to follow the path of truth and righteousness, I would have written the conspiracies and attacks in your account as my own. I would have written the parts, son. Of course you don't walk me around, see, I always feel you around me, son, be happy wherever you are, this is what I pray for on your birthday. I miss you so much today.”
Thousands of his admirers, friends, and family members still hold Sidhu Moose Wala in their hearts. During the IPL championship ceremony last month, rapper Divine paid him a tribute.
