Mansa: Balkaur Singh, father of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, who was shot dead on May 29, broke down while unveiling the latter’s life-size statue at his native village in Mansa on Sunday saying it was "unfortunate to see him in stone at 28."

A 6.5-foot tall statue of the slain singer and Congress leader was unveiled by his parents-- Balkaur Singh and Charan Kaur at his village yesterday.

Following the inauguration, the statue was carried to the installation point, located in Moose Wala’s fields, on his favourite 5911 tractor, reported TOI.

The fans of Punjabi singer Shubhdeep Singh alias Sidhu Moose Wala raised his statue where he was cremated in Moosa village within 50 days of his brutal murder.

While unveiling the statue on Sunday, Moose Wala’s father Balkaur Singh said that to see him in stone at 28 was "unfortunate".

Sculptor Iqbal Gill of Manuke took 25 days to make the 6.5-foot tall metallic fiber bust and he handed it over to the family a few days ago, reported TOI.

A fan had earlier put his bust of the singer at spot and after seeing the daily crowd it attracted, the family had put up a shed over it and placed a sign asking the visitors to plant a sapling each in his memory.

Apart from Iqbal Gill, Manjit Singh of Ghal Kalan has also prepared a sculpture of Moose Wala by joining three layers. “I put all my energy in making it to the liking of Moose Wala's fans and the family. The family approved its installation,” said Manjit Singh as reported by TOI.

"I can't bear to see my son as a statue at 28. We wait for justice. The killers, whether sitting on foreign soil or here, should be punished. Why give security to someone who claims openly that he killed Moose Wala,” said the singer's father while unveiling Iqbal's work at Moosa village.
