After #BoycottNavjotSinghSidhu, Kapil Sharma spoke in an event against Navjot Singh Sidhu’s ban. Soon after which #BoycottKapilSharma and #UnsubscribeSonyTV trended on Twitter.
Navjot Singh Sidhu was replaced by Archana Puran Singh as the guest of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show‘ on SonyTV soon after his comments on Pulwama terror attack.
Kapil spoke after taking an oath for a drug-free India at an Art of Living event on Monday. “These are very small things, or can also be a part of propaganda. I feel banning someone or sacking Navjot Singh Sidhu from the show (The Kapil Sharma Show) is not the solution. We need to look for a permanent solution,” he told the reporters.
Talking about the Pulwama attack, Kapil said that he is with the government. “We are with the government but still we need a permanent solution. The cowardly act in Pulwama that killed our soldiers shouldn’t be forgotten and the culprits should be punished,” he added.
The stand-up comedian’s comments have not gone down well and has received harsh criticism.
Even before #BoycottNavjotSinghSidhu trended, Sidhu, during a media interaction, said: “Nations cannot be held responsible for the dastardly acts of terrorists. The terrorists do not have deen, mazhab (sect and religion). There are good, the bad and the ugly. Every institution has them. Every nation has them. The ugly need to be punished. But individuals cannot be blamed for the dastardly act.”
