Singer Sidhu Moosewala's murder has stirred reactions from people all across. The singer-turned-Congress leader was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Punjab's Mansa district. While many from the Punjabi music and film industry mourned the demise, actor Kangana Ranaut questioned the state's Law & Order. 

Soon after the attack on late singer Sidhu Moosewala, the AAP-led government in Punjab has been facing the brunt as they downgraded the security cover of the late Congress leader.

I never had the opportunity to meet him in person, but his talent always spoke about him no doubt. It is very hard for the parents, I just hope God gives them the strength to overcome a deep loss. This is a very bad day for the music industry."
