Rahul Gandhi to meet Moose Wala’s family
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will visit the Moosa village in Punjab’s Mansa district today to meet the family of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala who was murdered on May 29.
On Monday, former Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan Sachin Pilot visited Moose Wala’s house and met the singer’s father. He expressed grief over the murder and demanded strict action against those behind the killing.
“It’s tragic to know how our leader was killed. An atmosphere of threat is being created in the state repetitively. The Centre and state governments should probe it (death) and take strict action. Such an incident is aimed at creating fear amongst people. Drug mafias, terrorists, and gangsters are getting a foothold (in Punjab). The Centre and state should investigate it (Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder) and act against the culprits,” Mr Pilot told reporters.
Meanwhile, BJP leaders Hans Raj Hans and Manjinder Singh Sirsa also met Moose Wala’s family to mourn the death of the singer.
Sidhu Moose Wala’s body had 19 bullet injuries and he died within 15 minutes of being shot, according to the forensic report, which also stated that the cause of his death was “haemorrhage shock” due to antemortem firearm injuries.
