Speaking to reporters, an emotional Balkaur Singh said the masterminds behind his son's murder were still at large.
The parents of singer Sidhu Moosewala, who was shot dead last year, sat on a protest outside the Punjab Assembly complex, in Chandigarh, on March 7 seeking justice for their son.
Speaking to reporters, an emotional Balkaur Singh said the masterminds behind his son's murder were still at large. He said nothing concrete has been done by the investigation agencies and demanded a CBI probe into the incident.
Carrying placards, Mr. Singh and his wife Charan Kaur sat outside the State Assembly. They were accompanied by some senior Punjab Congress leaders, including Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa.
Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moosewala, was shot dead in Punjab's Mansa district on May 29.
"I have come here today as we have no other option. For the last 10 months, nothing concrete has been done. Enough time has been given to police and the administration to act. "But the reality is the (murder) case is being suppressed. Crucial witnesses are being eliminated and nothing is going in our favour. So, we are forced to sit outside the Vidhan Sabha," the singer's father said. "Till the time, the State Assembly is in session, we will sit outside in protest," he said.
Meanwhile, Punjab Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal met Moosewala's parents outside the Assembly complex and said the AAP government was with them.
