Joyous Arrival: Sidhu Moosewala's Parents Welcome Baby Boy Years After Singer's Demise

Chandigarh: Balkaur Singh and Charan Kaur, parents of the late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, celebrated the arrival of a baby boy on Sunday, nearly two years after the singer's tragic demise in Punjab. Announcing the joyous news on his official Facebook page, Moosewala's father expressed gratitude for the blessings received from millions who cherished Sidhu. He joyously welcomed the newborn as Moosewala's younger brother, thanking Waheguru for the family's well-being and expressing heartfelt appreciation to all well-wishers for their unwavering love and support. Previously, Balkaur Singh had refuted rumors about his wife's pregnancy at the age of 58, urging everyone to disregard such speculations. He emphasized the family's intention to share authentic updates with their supporters and cautioned against believing unfounded rumors circulating about them.According to media reports, Moosewala's mother underwent vitro-fertilization therapy (IVF) to conceive the baby, highlighting the family's determination to expand despite their tragic loss. Sidhu Moosewala, aged 28, was tragically shot dead on May 29, 2022, in Mansa. The beloved Punjabi singer fell victim to a fatal shooting, succumbing to his injuries upon arrival at the Mansa Civil Hospital. The assailants mercilessly fired over 30 rounds at Moosewala, leaving him slumped in the driver's seat, shocking the local community. Despite his untimely demise, Moosewala's legacy continues to resonate, marked by his significant influence in the Punjabi music industry and beyond. He notably contested in the last Assembly election from Mansa on a Congress ticket but faced defeat against AAP's Vijay Singla. In a separate development, on November 23, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) apprehended Bishnoi in connection with a case pertaining to the alleged conspiracy to recruit youth for carrying out terror attacks in Delhi and various other parts of the country.

Ram Baboo breaches Paris Olympics Qualification mark following bronze medal triumph in Dudinska 50 2024

Ram Baboo breaches Paris Olympics Qualification mark following bronze medal triumph in Dudinska 50 2024 Indian racewalker Ram Baboo breached the qualifying standard for the Paris 2024 Olympics after he clinched the bronze medal in the men's 20km race walk event at the Dudinska 50 2024 athletics competition in Dudince, Slovakia on Saturday. The Asian Games medallist clocked one hour and 20 minutes (1:20:00) and met the Paris Olympics qualifying standard for the event, which is set at 1:20:10. Peru's Cesar Augusto Rodriguez secured the gold medal by clocking 1:19:41s while Ecuador's Brian Daniel Pintado settled for a silver medal with a timing of 1:19:44s. The 24-year-old set a new personal best record at the event. His previous personal best in the 20km race walk category was 1:21:04s. Earlier in January, he set the mark during the 2024 South Asian and Indian Race Walking Championships in Chandigarh. Following his triumph, Baboo became the seventh Indian race walker to breach the Paris 2024 Olympics qualifying standard. Before him, Akshdeep Singh, Vikas Singh, Paramjeet Bisht, Suraj Panwar, Servin Sebastian and Arshpreet Singh have breached the qualifying mark. However, each national federation can only send a maximum of three athletes for the men's 20km race walk event in the upcoming Summer Games. At Dudinska 50 last year, Baboo set the national record in men's 35km race walk with a time of 2:29:56s. (ANI)

Seat-sharing agreement among INDIA bloc partners almost finalised: Sachin Pilot

Seat-sharing agreement among INDIA bloc partners almost finalised: Sachin Pilot The seat-sharing agreement among the INDIA bloc partners is almost finalised, Congress leader Sachin Pilot said on Saturday, expressing confidence of winning the upcoming Lok Sabha polls to provide a better government to the people of the country. The former Rajasthan deputy chief minister said the country deserves a government that respects the opposition, encourages debates and discussions and does not use agencies on its ''whims and fancies''. Pilot said this while speaking in a debate on the INDIA bloc -- ''India's opposition: The search for a narrative and strategy'' -- at the ''India Today'' conclave here. National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi also spoke during the debate. ''I may fight two or four seats less or more, but that is not important. During negotiations, we go to the brink and ultimately, the objective is to field one-on-one candidates against the BJP and the NDA,'' Pilot said. He said the seat-sharing agreement among the alliance partners is almost finalised and the message for the people is very clear that the country deserves a government that respects the opposition, encourages debates and discussions and does not use agencies on its ''whims and fancies''. ''We are fighting this election to win. Whether we will win or not will depend on the people of this country and it is best that the judgment remains on hold till June 4. The INDIA bloc came to the fore because of the circumstances that the country witnessed for the last nine years,'' the Congress leader said. He alleged that there has been a systematic attack on well-established constitutional entities of the country over the last nine years. ''The attempt was to get all opposition parties together so that we can throw up a formidable challenge to the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) and defeat it in the election.... Do not forget that in 2019, the BJP got (around) 37 per cent votes, which means two-thirds of the voters had voted against it. ''Our attempt was to assimilate all political parties despite their differences. The attempt was to collate a coalition and get everyone together,'' Pilot said, adding that the Congress has given up a number of seats in many states as it is in the larger interest of the country to have a united opposition. In a democracy, he said the opposition is almost as important as the government. ''The opposition is within its right to ask questions, ask for transparency, debates and discussions. Shouldn't we ask why 147 MPs were suspended in a single day and bills passed? Shouldn't we ask why the Supreme Court ruled against so many things like the electoral bonds? Shouldn't we ask what happened in Chandigarh that the Supreme Court had to intervene? These are important things and we had to nip those in the bud,'' he said. The Congress leader said the Lok Sabha polls were announced on Saturday but the narrative was already set. He questioned about the fulfillment of promises made by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) like doubling the farmers' income, two crore jobs a year and reducing poverty and inflation. ''Just casting a vote and electing a government is not democracy. Democracy is that every institution must be credible, transparent and must enjoy the faith of people,'' he said, adding that it is also about providing a level-playing field to all political parties and encouraging healthy debates in Parliament. Pilot said elections are important because the people of the country want to see a credible roadmap as an alternative and ''we are the ones who are providing that''. ''The INDIA bloc has many partners in the fold but the Congress remains the only political party that can actually pose a formidable challenge to the BJP nationally. Every state has leaders and parties that are very important to us. They are equal partners, not big or small. But nationally, it is the Congress across the length and breadth of India that takes on the BJP and can defeat it. We have done it before and we can do it again,'' he asserted. Atishi said the AAP has chosen its candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls to win the seats they are contesting because it is a ''do-or-die battle'' for the country. ''Every democratic institution of this country is being eroded one by one (under the BJP's rule).... The issue of electoral bonds has shown that the biggest nationalised bank of the country, the State Bank of India, has become another arm of the BJP,'' she said. Atishi said the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) are not just putting opposition leaders in jail but these agencies were also used to extort money from the country's biggest businesses, who were forced to buy electoral bonds. ''This is a battle that all of us are fighting. It (the INDIA bloc) is an important achievement to overcome a larger crisis in the country,'' she said.
