INC leader & singer Sidhu Moosewala'a last song "SYL" hits 16mn views in 20hrs. The lyrics & visuals are about disputed SYL Canal which dangerously provokes violence, glorifies terror!sm, & fuels the fire of 'self-sovereignty' in an already struggling nation with anarchism.

The lyrics are "until you satisfy our sovereignty, forget about water, we won't spare a drop of water (of rivers of Punjab)".

Note that the Sutlej Yamuna Link project offers Ravi & Beas water sharing between PUN & HAR, which was inaugurated by Late PM Indira Gandhi in 1982.
