Congress seeks dismissal of AAP government in Punjab, says has lost moral authority after Moosewala's killing

New Delhi: The Congress on Sunday sought the dismissal of the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab over the killing of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala , saying that it has lost the moral authority to govern. Moosewala was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Punjab’s Mansa district, a day after the state government withdrew his security cover. Deputy Superintendent of Police (Mansa) Gobinder Singh told PTI that Moosewala, 27, was attacked when he was in his jeep at village Jawahar Ke and several bullets hit him. Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said he was deeply shocked and saddened by the “murder of promising Congress leader and talented artist, Sidhu Moosewala”. “My heartfelt condolences to his loved ones and fans from across the world,” Gandhi said. Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring said on Twitter, “I’m shocked beyond belief and expression. We have lost a promising star in the @INCIndia, Sidhu Mooseewla.” “He was showered with bullets in Mansa just 2 days after @BhagwantMann govt withdrew his security. @AAPPunjab govt has lost moral authority. It must be DISMISSED,” he said.

Congress’ chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala also expressed deep shock at the “broad daylight murder” of Moosewala. “Punjab & Punjabis across the world have lost a talented artist with mass connect, who could feel people’s pulse. My heartfelt condolences to his loved ones and fans across the world,” he said.
