Amritsar: Scores of people, including late singer Sidhu Moose Wala’s father Balkaur Singh, joined the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra as it resumed from the Khalsa College Ground Jalandhar on Sunday after remaining suspended for 24 hours in view of the death of Congress MP Santokh Singh Chaudhary.
“Today #BharatJodoYatra Balkaur Singh Sidhu ji, father of famous Punjabi singer Late Sidhu Moose Wala, along with @RahulGandhi ji gave a befitting reply to the forces spreading hatred, fear and violence. Sidhu Moose Wala was murdered in broad daylight in Mansa, Punjab,” the Congress tweeted along with a video of Balkaur Singh and Gandhi.
