Meanwhile, the opposition parties in Punjab lashed out at the AAP government for curtailing his security cover, with the Congress terming the incident a “political murder.” Moosewala was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Punjab’s Mansa district, a day after the state government curtailed his security cover. Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring condemned the “brutal assassination” of Punjabi singer and party colleague Moosewala, saying it is a “political murder conceived and executed under a proper conspiracy.”
“I feel shocked and devastated beyond belief and expression over the loss of my colleague and a promising star in the party”, Warring said in a statement, while holding Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann wholly and solely responsible for his murder. The state Congress president said it was just two days ago that Moosewala’s security had been withdrawn by the Punjab government, without assessing his threat perception.
“Moosewala was not only a political leader, he was an internationally acclaimed singer who should have been provided extra security,” he said, while asserting that there was a “deep-rooted conspiracy” behind his murder. Warring demanded registration of an FIR against the Punjab director general of police and Mansa senior superintendent of police not only for the “lapse”, but also for being part of the “conspiracy to eliminate” Moosewala.,
