Who is Charan Kaur Sidhu?

Charan Kaur Sidhu, a prominent figure in Punjab's political landscape, is a member of the Indian National Congress. Hailing from a Jatt Sikh family and adhering to the Sikhism faith, Charan has been actively involved in public service and community welfare. Born on May 15, 1965, she is 58 years old and is married to Balkaur Singh. 

In 2018, Charan Kaur Sidhu secured victory as the sarpanch of Mossa village in Mansa district, Punjab. Supported by the Congress party, she won the elections with 702 votes, defeating her opponent, who was backed by the Akali Dal. Charan's campaign primarily focused on combating the rampant abuse of drugs and alcohol prevalent in the village.

Her son, Sidhu Moosewala, a prominent figure in Punjabi music played a significant role in her electoral success by spearheading a door-to-door campaign on her behalf. Despite facing opposition, Charan emerged triumphant, dedicated to fulfilling her promises to her constituents and addressing pressing issues affecting the community.

After the untimely demise of Sidhu Moosewala, who fell victim to assailants on May 29, 2022, in Jawaharke village of Mansa district at the young age of 28, his parents have been leading a solitary life, mourning the loss of their son. The village, shrouded in sorrow, had remained devoid of any joyous occasions.

However, the household was filled with renewed happiness with the arrival of a baby boy on Sunday morning, March 17. Despite the absence of Moosewala, the melodies of his songs resonated through the air, and celebrations ensued, marking a poignant moment of joy amidst the family's ongoing struggle for justice.

The recent news of Charan Kaur Sidhu becoming a mother again at the age of 58 has sparked discussions regarding the age limitations for IVF treatments. The Centre's notice to the Punjab government seeks clarification on the adherence to regulations outlined in the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, which specifies the age limit for women undergoing ART services between 21 and 50 years.
