Moose Wala’s father hints at joining politics
Balkour said that one cannot become a leader from the death of a son, but if he had to become a leader to secure justice for his son, he would not hesitate.
Over six months after the brutal killing of singer-politician Sidhu Moose Wala, his father Balkour Singh on Sunday hinted at joining politics to get “justice for his son”.
While addressing the fans of the Punjabi singer at village Moosa in Mansa, he said that one cannot become a leader from the death of a son, but if he had to become a leader to secure justice for his son, he would not hesitate.
“Sidhu has gone away because some people misled gangsters, but I do not want the sons of other mothers in Punjab to die on the basis of the wrong information given to gangsters,” he said.

Days after the interrogation of Punjabi singer Babbu Maan by Mansa police in connection with Moose Wala’s killing, Balkour said that Sidhu had no issue with Maan and that it was only stage rivalry.
Mansa police on Wednesday questioned Punjabi singers Babbu Maan and Mankirt Aulakh for more than five hours in connection with the killing of Moose Wala.
Balkour said that his son took over all the big stages of the world in a short time with his hard work.
“My son started climbing only through his talent, from which many others, including Babbu Maan, started getting jealous. I am not taking the names without any reason out of personal grudges. I lost my son due to the competition among singers. It all started from a show in Dirba and police also registered an Arms Act case against Sidhu even though he had no link with it,” he said.
He said that after the murder of Vicky Midhukhera, he himself took Sidhu to express grief to his family, but no one from his house came when his son was killed.
