On Sunday, he tweeted: "Will reach village Moosa & share my grief with Bai Balkaur Singh Ji at 2 pm tomorrow ... will address the media at his house on the prevailing law & order situation around 4:15 pm."
Sidhu walked out of jail after 10 months on April 1.
In May 2022, the Supreme Court had imposed a sentence of one-year rigorous imprisonment on the cricketer-turned-politician in a 1988 road rage case.
Few days after the sentence, Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead in Mansa district on May 29.
After coming out of Patiala jail on Saturday, Sidhu had announced that he would visit the slain singer’s family to express his grief.
Meanwhile, in another tweet, Navjot Sidhu also expressed gratitude to his supporters who waited for hours outside the jail for his release.
Gratitude ..... take a bow to all those who waited since 10 in the morning till 6 in the evening , against all odds. pic.twitter.com/KtY75eDIfb
