"Gangsters are running parallel govt in Punjab", says Moosewala's father

|HT|

Punjab politician-rapper Sidhu Moose Wala's father on Tuesday spoke up on the spread of gangsters in Punjab, stressing that there were eight attempts on his life during the state polls. "Gangsters are running parallel government (in Punjab). Young men are dying. Middukhera's revenge was taken, tomorrow someone will do it for Sidhu. But it is our houses being destroyed," Balkaur Singh said. 'Sixty-eighty people were after him to kill him. Efforts were made at least eight more times during the elections to kill him. The government too left no stone unturned, withdrew his security, and publicised it," he added, taking aim at the Bhagwant Mann government.
