Sidhu Moosewala’s mother Charan Kaur breaks down. Express Prayers were held at Jawahar Ke village of Mansa district on Sunday to commemorate the first death anniversary of Punjabi singer-turned-politician Shubhdeep Singh alias Sidhu Moosewala, who was shot dead by a group of assailants at the village on May 29 last year.
The residents of Jawahar Ke village organised Sukhmani Sahib path on Sunday in memory of Moosewala. His mother Charan Kaur, who reached the village to attend the prayers in memory of her son, got emotional and broke down. She went down on her knees, bowed and touched the ground where her son was shot dead. Then she proceeded towards the spot where the prayers were going on and thanked the villagers for organising them in memory of her son.
Gurjit Singh, a village resident who has donated his piece of land near the spot where Moosewala was shot dead, said that a statue of the slain singer would soon come up and a memorial would be built on the land.
“Today, we organised Sukhmani Sahib path in memory of Moosewala as he was our son. Everyone in the village, including young and old, loved him. It is extremely unfortunate that he was shot dead in our village. His mother attended the prayers today (Sunday) and got extremely emotional. She broke down and touched the ground where her son was shot dead,” said Gurjit Singh.
He said that a langar and chabeel (service to serve sweet water) were also organised in memory of the slain singer. “We organise a tea langar every week here in his memory,” Gurjit Singh added.
Villagers said that the initiative to organise Sukhmani Sahib path was taken as they want to keep his memory alive. “However, we have never asked for or collected money from anyone in Moosewala’s name. Whatever we do is with our own money. We request people not to give any money if someone asks for it in the name of Moosewala,” said Gurjit Singh.
