Sidhu Moosewala Case: The parents of late singer Sidhu Moosewala staged a sit-in protest outside the Punjab Legislative Assembly on Tuesday and demanded a CBI probe into the case. Sidhu's father Balkaur Singh alleged that whatever is happening in the case, is being done to suppress the murder of his son. He also said that he is getting threats that he would be killed before April 25th.
He said, "What wrong am I doing? Should I not fight my son's case? I was threatened on the 18th, 24th and 27th that I will be killed before 25th April...I'd like to tell the Govt, take back my security, I'll continue to fight (sic)."
"Nothing is going in my favor, that's why I am forced to sit on protest outside the Vidhan Sabha. My son was a world-famous celebrity. There is anger in the world but our government is not listening to us. Nothing has happened yet," he alleged.
He said, "CBI should investigate the matter...Who are these gangsters (arrested in the case), they are just henchmen. They took money and shot him dead. The mastermind, who targeted my son...what action is being taken against Goldy Brar?"
Accusing the CM Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government in the state of inaction, Singh said, "Only the shooter has been caught. Arrested people are being killed, and witnesses are being neutralised...When a political leader is killed, everyone is caught. My son was killed, and only the shooter has been caught. Those who conspired have not been caught yet."
"We have lived in a free country and what is happening to us? We are continuously getting threats that we will be killed before 25th April," Singh added.
Blaming the Punjab government for his son's death, Singh said, "The one who was caught from Jodhpur is saying that he is a minor. What will this government do if the minor shoots me and goes away? The day the government changed, my son was snatched from me. As long as the Congress government was in power, my son was safe. This government took away everything from me."
According to ANI, Singh said that he has gone to the police and administration but what is happening in the case is nothing but an attempt to 'brush under the carpet' the murder of his son.
"In last 10 months, I went to Police & Admin several times. I was assured. But what's happening here is being done to brush under the carpet the murder of my child. Nothing is going in my favour. So, I had to come to Assembly," he said.
Sidhu's father added, "I'll sit here for as long as the session continues. It (investigation) is not being influenced but being ended. Where is the investigation even taking place? There's anger among people but why is our govt not listening?."
