Punjabi musician Diljit Dosanjh is known to never mince his words. The actor-singer often expresses his thoughts with blunt words. Recently during a media interaction, he opened up about Sidhu Moosewala’s murder. He expressed how many artists before the late singer have killed. He shared that such murders are the government’s fault.
Talking about the same during an interview with Film Companion, Diljit wished that Mossewala’s family should get justice as soon as possible. He said, “All of them worked hard. I don't think an artiste can do anything wrong to anyone, I am talking about my own experience. Mujhe ye manne mein nahi aati baat (I don't agree with it). There could be nothing between him and someone else. So why would anyone kill someone else? This is a very sad thing. Even talking about it is so difficult. Think about it, you have just one child and he dies. His father and mother, how would they be living with it. You cannot imagine what they are going through, only they know it.” ALSO READ: Sidhu Moosewala MURDER Case: Deepak Mundi ARRESTED In A Joint Operation By Delhi Police And Central Agencies- Detailed Information INSIDE
Staying firm on his belief about the murder being the government’s fault, he was quoted by the Hindustan Times saying, “100% ye sarkar ki nalayaki hai. Ye politics hai aur politics bahut gandi hai. Bhagwan se hum prarthna kar sakte hain ki unko insaaf mile aur aisi tragedy na ho (This is 100% government's failure. This is politics and politics is very bad. We pray to God that he gets justice and such tragedy never happens again). We are not in this world to kill each other but this has been happening since the beginning. Artistes have been killed before as well… I remember when I started, there used to be problems. People would feel why is this person getting so successful but killing someone is just… I don't know. It is the government's fault 100% and this is politics, according to me.” ALSO READ: INSIDE Diljit Dosanjh’s Dreamy And Lavish House, Singer Shows His Favourite Place To Chill, Messy Bedroom, Grand Living Area And More - See VIDEO
