Sidhu Moosewala's Father Accuses Govt Of Harassment, Alleges Demands For Proof Regarding Newborn Son
Balkaur Singh, father of the late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, has made startling accusations against the Punjab government, alleging harassment over the birth of his newborn son at the age of 60, along with his 58-year-old wife Charan Kaur, through IVF.
What Are The Harassment Claims?
Singh took to social media, expressing distress over government officials questioning the legality of his newborn son.
He stated that officials were demanding proof of the child's legality, despite following all legal procedures for the IVF process.
What Is The Appeal To The Chief Minister?
In a video posted on Instagram, Singh appealed to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to allow the mother and child to complete their treatments before complying with any government inquiries.
He assured them that all necessary documents would be provided to address their concerns.
