Today marks the First Death Anniversary of Singer Sidhu Moosewala.

Subhodeep Singh Sidhu known professionally as #SidhuMooseWala was an Indian rapper, singer and songwriter. He worked predominantly in Punjabi Music and cinema.
His some of songs have top charted on some International Billboards like the Canadian Albums chart, UK Singles Chart, UK Asian chart, Global YouTube music chart, #canadian Hot 100, and #NewZealand Hot charts.
In Dec 2020, Moose Wala released "Panjab: My Motherland" in support of the #Indianfarmers protest against the 2020 Indian agriculture acts, which featured clips of @khalistanforc and speeches made by a supporter of #Khalistan , Bharpur Singh Balbir, in late 1980s.
In 2021, he joined the @INCIndia and unsuccessfully contested the 2022 Punjab Legislative Assembly election. During the 2022 election, a case under Section 188 of the #IndianPenalCode was filed against him for his violation of the election code of conduct.
On 11 April 2022, Moose Wala released a song titled "Scapegoat", in which he laments his failure in the 2022 Punjab state assembly elections. The #AamAadmiParty claimed that Moose Wala through his song insinuated that the voters of Punjab were "gaddar" for electing the #AAP.
They also claimed that Moose Wala's song perpetuates the @INCIndia "anti-Punjab" mentality and demanded an answer from the party's state unit president,@RajaBrar_INC Warring, on whether he endorsed Moose Wala's views...
...Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead on 29th May 2022 in Mansa district. Later Goldy Brar from Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang took responsibility of the murder and stated that to avenge death of his brother singer was killed Sidhu's body had 19 bullet injuries and he died...
...within 15 min of being shot, according to the post-mortem report. According to reports, the cause of his death was "haemorrhage shock" due to antemortem firearm injuries. On 30 May, the #Delhi unit of @INCIndia staged a protest near #AamAadmiParty supremo...
...@ArvindKejriwal residence holding the #AAP-ruled Government of Punjab responsible for the incident, blaming the state government's decision to curtail Moose Wala's security cover. He did not mind speaking about his political philosophies, his beliefs and everything he...
...believed in #SidhuMooseWala cultural influence has already outlived him, but it will long outlive even his death. 295, which is often regarded as one of his finest works, talks to you and presents the reality of the world we live in. It isn't to say that...
....Moose Wala's songs were without their flaws. There were countless things that one could point to, but for every Tochan, there was a Selfmade. For every Dhakka, there was a 295. For every SYL, there was a East Side Flow, and that is what made Sidhu a flawed legend.
Canadian rapper Drake paid tribute to Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala who was killed in Jawaharke village in Indian Punjab’s #mansa district on the first episode of his radio show Table for One. One of his major achievements, 10 of his most popular songs ave peaked on...
...#UK Asian Chart, while two of them ranked on the top of the chart. Also, another song “Bambiha Bole” ranked on top five on the Global @YouTube music chart. Sidhu is generally regarded to have been one of the greatest Punjabi artists of his generation.
Moreover, he has been considered a key figure in opening the door for Punjabi artists into mainstream music.

Thread: #MalianaMassacre a Tale of Injustice in India

It has been 36 years since 72 Muslims were brutally killed in the small town of #Maliana, in #UttarPradesh by provincial police force. On 01 April, 40 accused in the #massacre during the 1987 riots in Maliana...,
...Meerut were acquitted, while 23 accused have left this world and 30 accused are missing, against whom the trial will continue. The prosecution failed to produce sufficient evidence before the court, due to which benefit of doubt was given to the accused. #muslimsinindia
It took 36 years for the court to pronounce the verdict i.e. those who were accused in youth were acquitted in old age and children whose parents were killed have crossed puberty. Their families still await even the first glimmer of justice. #MalianaMassacre #IndianSupremeCourt
