ਉੱਘੇ ਗਾਇਕ ਸੁਰਿੰਦਰ ਸ਼ਿੰਦਾ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਮੌਤ ਦੀ ਖ਼ਬਰ ਸੁਣਕੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਦੁੱਖ ਹੋਇਆ...ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੀ ਬੁਲੰਦ ਆਵਾਜ਼ ਅੱਜ ਸਦਾ ਲਈ ਖ਼ਾਮੋਸ਼ ਹੋ ਗਈ...

ਸ਼ਿੰਦਾ ਜੀ ਭਾਵੇਂ ਸਰੀਰਕ ਤੌਰ 'ਤੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਰਹੇ ਪਰ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਆਵਾਜ਼ ਸਦਾ ਗੂੰਜਦੀ ਰਹੇਗੀ... ਵਿਛੜੀ ਰੂਹ ਨੂੰ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਆਪਣੇ ਚਰਨਾਂ 'ਚ ਨਿਵਾਸ ਦੇਣ ਤੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਭਾਣਾ ਮੰਨਣ ਦਾ ਬਲ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ਣ...… pic.twitter.com/d2va6dbvK3
