Gurdas Maan, Honey Singh pay tribute to SI Harjeet Singh
The Punjab Police have launched a nationwide campaign #MainBhiHarjeetSingh to highlight the services of policemen and other front-line workers fighting the ongoing coronavirus crisis. The initiative is a tribute to Harjeet Singh, a sub-inspector (SI) of the Punjab Police, who was gravely injured during a recent attack. Apart from cops across the country, many Punjabi movie and music stars have participated in the campaign.
Two weeks ago, a group of Nihang Sikhs (a religious sect whose members carry traditional weapons) attacked a police team in Punjab's Patiala. During the attack, assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Harjeet Singh's hand was cut off. Thereafter, the brave cop underwent successful 7.5-hour-long surgery at the PGIMER, Chandigarh. He is now recovering. Harjeet Singh has been promoted to the post of Sub-Inspector (SI).
Now, various Punjabi celebrities have come forward to show solidarity towards the campaign and hailed SI Harjeet Singh's bravery. Sharing a video, singer Gurdas Maan tweeted, "My love and respect for inspector Harjit Singh and his family and all those frontline corona warriors (sic)." Meanwhile, rapper Honey Singh tweeted, "SI Harjeet Singh is a symbol of bravery and I salute his spirit and courage."
