Murder of a promising youngster Sidhu Moosewala exposes law & order situation of Punjab. CM @BhagwantMann should immediately resign as he holds charge of home department and a explanation is needed on what basis his security was withdrawn yesterday just one day before attack.

Sidhu Moosewala isn't a loss to Indian Punjab only. He was equally popular in Western Punjab. This is heartbreaking. Rest in Peace, Sidhu. You'll be a legend forever.

I'm shocked beyond belief and expression. We have lost a promising star in the @INCIndia , Sidhu Mooseewla. He was showered with bullets in Mansa just 2 days after @BhagwantMann govt withdrew his security. @AAPPunjab govt has lost moral authority. It must be DISMISSED.

Law and order has completely collapsed in Punjab. Criminals have no fear of law. @AAPPunjab government has miserably failed. Nobody is safe in Punjab!
Deeply shocked and saddened by the murder of promising Congress leader and talented artist, Sidhu Moosewala.
