Chief Minister of Punjab, Bhagwant Mann mourned the demise of the singer on Twitter. The translation of his tweet read, “Very sad to hear the news of eminent singer Surinder Shindaji’s death…the voice of Punjab has gone silent forever…Although Shinda ji is no longer physically, but his voice will always resonate…May God rest the departed soul on his feet and give strength to the family.”

ਉੱਘੇ ਗਾਇਕ ਸੁਰਿੰਦਰ ਸ਼ਿੰਦਾ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਮੌਤ ਦੀ ਖ਼ਬਰ ਸੁਣਕੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਦੁੱਖ ਹੋਇਆ…ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੀ ਬੁਲੰਦ ਆਵਾਜ਼ ਅੱਜ ਸਦਾ ਲਈ ਖ਼ਾਮੋਸ਼ ਹੋ ਗਈ…

ਸ਼ਿੰਦਾ ਜੀ ਭਾਵੇਂ ਸਰੀਰਕ ਤੌਰ ‘ਤੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਰਹੇ ਪਰ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਆਵਾਜ਼ ਸਦਾ ਗੂੰਜਦੀ ਰਹੇਗੀ… ਵਿਛੜੀ ਰੂਹ ਨੂੰ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਆਪਣੇ ਚਰਨਾਂ ‘ਚ ਨਿਵਾਸ ਦੇਣ ਤੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਭਾਣਾ ਮੰਨਣ ਦਾ ਬਲ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ਣ…… pic.twitter.com/d2va6dbvK3
