Kapil Sharma supports Navjot singh sidhu

February 19, 2019

Comedian-actor Kapil Sharma has broken silence on Navjot Singh Sidhu being replaced on The Kapil Sharma Show over his comments on the Pulwama attack. While speaking at an event in Chandigarh, Kapil said the focus of the nation should be on the genuine problem and not on misleading hashtags like ‘#BoycottSidhu’ or #BoycottKapilSharmaShow’.

In another video, Kapil added, “It’s all propaganda that keeps on running on Twitter and I don’t get involved in such things. I have started doing some good things and I want all of you to support me in this instead of creating controversies around my comments.” He also said that Archana Puran Singh has shot a few episodes with the team of The Kapil Sharma Show because Sidhu had some prior commitments.

On being asked if any action will be taken against Sidhu for his comments, Kapil said, “I am not the producer of the show this time so it will be channel’s decision.”

Sidhu, while speaking about the Pulwama attack in a media interaction, had said that nations cannot be held responsible “for the dastardly acts of terrorists” and that terrorists have no religion.

He had added, “There are good, the bad and the ugly. Every institution has it. Every nation has them. The ugly need to be punished. But individuals cannot be blamed for the dastardly act.”

Sidhu later claimed that his comments were “distorted” and while the country comes for him first, he stands by his statement that terrorism has no Dharam, mazhab, zaat aur desh (religion, caste or country). Mere liye hamesha hi desh pehle tha (For me the country had always been first)… but I stand by what I said yesterday (Friday) and I cannot blame an entire nation for an act done by a few cowards.
