- On 23 June 2022, the song ‘SYL’ was released on YouTube, which was written and sung by Sidhu Moose Wala. The song, which was released within three weeks after his death, was removed from YouTube on 28 June 2022, after the Centre government filed a complaint against the song. The song allegedly focussed on various controversial elements like the dispute related to the sharing of water between Punjab and Haryana through the Satluj Yamuna Link Canal, ownership of Punjab in the canal’s water, undivided Punjab, the 1984 anti-Sikh Riots, and hoisting of the Sikh flag at the Red Fort during the farmer agitation. On the contrary, Masoom Sharma released a song, SYL Haryanvi, which was in response to Moosewala’s SYL song. Through the song, Masoom highlighted the fact that the water belongs to both states and the Haryanvi people had a right of 50 per cent share in the water of the Satluj Yamuna Link Canal.
