YouTube has removed the new song of deceased Punjabi singer Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moosewala, from its platform in India following a complaint from the Union government. The song, however, is available in other countries.
The song reportedly raises various controversial issues, such as the under-construction Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal that has been a bone of contention between Punjab and Haryana for the past four decades.
The song, SYL, was released on the evening of June 23 and it had gained 2.7 crore views in less than three days. It also received 33 lakh likes on the video sharing and social media platform.
