Mourning the loss of famous Punjab Singer Sardool Sikander, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) expressed deep sorrow on Wednesday.
In a press statement issued from the party headquarters, AAP's state president and MP Bhagwant Mann said that the departure of Sardool Sikander, the pillar of Punjabi singing, has left an indelible mark on the Punjabi mother tongue, culture and movie and music industry.
Mann said that the services rendered by Sardool Sikander to the Punjabi mother-tongue through his art would always be remembered. He said that the Aam Aadmi Party extends sympathies and stood by the bereaved family in this hour of grief. He prayed to Almighty to grant eternal peace to the departed soul and to give strength to the family to bear this irreparable loss.
Acclaimed Punjabi singer Sardool Sikander passed away at Fortis hospital in Mohali near here in Punjab on Wednesday. He was 60.
Sikander, who left behind a rich musical legacy, was recently diagnosed with Covid-19 and was under treatment for various ailments, including kidney damage. He died owing to multi-organ failure.
Known for his hit songs like 'Ek charkha gali de wich dha laya' and 'Sanu ishq brandi char gayi', Sikander had made his first appearances on radio and television in the early 1980s with album, 'Roadways di Laari'.
He also acted in Punjabi films, including 'Jagga Daku'.
Sikander is survived by wife and sons -- Sarang and Alaap.
"Extremely saddened to learn of the demise of legendary Punjabi singer Sardool Sikander," Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said in a tweet. "He was recently diagnosed with Covid-19 and was undergoing treatment. The world of Punjabi music is poorer today. My heartfelt condolences to his family and fans."
The Punjabi music industry has lost an icon in the demise of Sardool Sikander, said former Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal. "I pray for peace to the departed soul as well as strength to the bereaved family, friends and fans to bear this irreparable loss," she said.
