Talking to the media, Diljit said its cruel how Moosewala was killed, leaving his family devastated. Diljit had paid tributes to Sidhu Moosewala, Punjabi actor-activist Deep Sidhu and kabaddi player Sandeep Singh Sandhu at his concert in Canada earlier this year.
‘It is extremely saddening’
“All three are big names. They worked hard in their career. I don’t think an artiste can do something wrong with anyone. So why will someone kill them? It is extremely saddening. His parents… it is tough to even talk about it. Think about it, that your only child passes away.. how are the parents dealing with it. Only they know their pain. What happened with them is huge. Ye 100 per cent sarkaar ki nalayaki hai aur ye politics hai, jo bohot gandi hai (It is the incompetency of the government; and its politics, which is ugly),” he said.
Diljit said all one can do is pray to God that the family is “given justice” and that a tragedy like this isn’t repeated. He admitted that artistes are being killed for a long time across the world but said he can’t fathom how anyone can take the liberty of ending someone’s life.

Artistes are being killed for long
“We have not come in this world to kill, but this has been happening for a long time, artistes have been killed before too. Chamkila was killed, Dilshad Akhtar was killed, Veerendra, a film artiste, was also shot dead.
“To kill someone is just terrible– you can’t end someone’s life. When I had started, there were problems, people would think why is he succeeding but to just kill someone… This is government fault. I hope God gives the family the strength and they are fighting it strongly.”
On Friday, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann confirmed reports that Canada-based gangster Satinder Singh aka Goldy Brar had been arrested in the United States. Brar allegedly masterminded Moosewala’s killing.
