Digital desk: The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has requested a report from the Government of Punjab regarding the IVF treatment of Sidhu Moosewala's mother, Charan Kaur, days after the late Punjabi singer's parents were blessed with their second son. The state government has asked them to submit a report to the department.
This happened after the late Punjabi musician Sidhu Moosewala's father, Balkaur Singh, claimed that he was being harassed by the Punjab government after the birth of his second son by the In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) method.
Citing a media report, the Union Health Ministry contacted the Punjab government on March 14 requesting a report on Charan Kaur's IVF treatment.
In the letter that under section 21 (g) (i) of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, the age limit prescribed for a woman going under ART services is between 21-50 years, PTI reported quoting its sources. The birth was flagged by the Centre due to the age of Moosewala's parents. Moosewala's father is aged around 60 and his mother Charan Kaur is 58 years old.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Balkaur Singh said that the administration was pressuring him in an attempt to establish the child's legality. He said, "Two days ago, by the blessings of 'Waheguru' and your prayers, we got our Shubhdeep (Sidhu Moosewala) back. However, the administration has been harassing me since morning, asking me to furnish documents of the baby. They are posing me several questions, asking me to prove that this child is legal."
In the video, he requested the government, "particularly CM 'saab' (Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann), let the treatment be completed. I hail from this place and will come wherever you call me".
"As I am pained, I want to tell you in strong words that you have a habit of taking U-turns. Your advisors give you such advice... I am not among those who take U-turns," Singh said he is not violating the law.
He also added, "If I have done so (violate the law) then send me behind bars... lodge an FIR against me, put me in jail, and then carry out an investigation. I will provide all the legal documents."
In the meantime, Moosewala's father's charges brought the AAP administration under fire from opposition party leaders. Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, the leader of the Punjab Congress, stated in a post on X, "Bhagwant Mann ji you are probably the only Punjabi who has not yet congratulated @iBalkaurSidhu ji on the birth of his son and now your administration is bothering him with its legal hurdles. Request you to stop harassing the Sidhu family and let them be happy for once."
Bikram Singh Majithia, the leader of the Shiromani Akali Dal, remarked that obtaining paperwork from Balkaur Singh for his baby was regretful.
He said that Moosewala's family was being harassed by the state authorities.
On May 29, 2022, Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, also referred to as Sidhu Moosewala, was shot and killed in the Mansa district of Punjab. The singer had unsuccessfully contested the Punjab Assembly elections in 2022 on a Congress ticket from Mansa.
