Sidhu Moosewala, 28, was shot dead on May 29, 2022, in Mansa. The Punjabi singer was shot at point-blank range and declared dead on arrival at the Mansa Civil Hospital.

Moosewala joined Congress in 2021 and later contested the 2022 Punjab Legislative Assembly election. Prior to that, in 2018, he actively campaigned for his mother Charan Kaur, who won the sarpanch election from Moosa village in December of the same year.

This tribute gave me goosebumps! Emiway has done justice to Sidhu's legacy. Both artists represent raw, unfiltered voices of India's youth. Hope this inspires more cross-cultural collaborations in Indian music industry. 🙏

While the intention is good, I feel the original 'Dogar' had a unique Punjabi essence that can't be replicated. Sidhu's voice carried the pain and pride of Punjab - that's missing here. Still, respect to Emiway for keeping his memory alive.

Can't believe it's been 2 years already. Sidhu wasn't just a singer, he was the voice of Punjab's youth. His songs about farmer struggles and social issues made him different from other artists. Emiway's tribute is heartfelt but we need more artists who dare to speak truth like Sidhu did.

Emotional tribute but justice for Sidhu is still pending. The way he was killed in broad daylight shows how unsafe our artists are. Hope Punjab police catches all culprits soon. His mother's strength is inspiring - losing son and still fighting for justice.

Both Emiway and Sidhu represent India's diverse musical landscape. From Mumbai's streets to Punjab's villages, their music connects with common people. Hope this tribute introduces Sidhu's work to more Hindi-speaking audiences. #Respect
