Navjot Singh Sidhu To Be Fired From The Kapil Sharma Show Over His Pulwama Attack Statements! #BoycottSidhu Becomes The Top Trend On Twitter!

It was only yesterday that Navjot Singh Sidhu, who does nothing but grace the special chair every weekend on The Kapil Sharma Show had his ‘foot in the mouth’ moment. The politician’s comments on the Pulwama terror attacks were not taken kindly to. Navjot Singh Sidhu, while condemning the attacks said, “For a handful of people, can you blame the entire nation and can you blame an individual?". And his sympathy and attempts to absolve Pakistan of the attacks, irked one and all to no end, so much that netizens started trending ‘#boycottsidhu’ on Twitter. Twitterati Demand to Boycott the Kapil Sharma Show After Navjot Singh Sidhu's Comment on the Recent Pulwama Terror Attack

And looks like all the anger directed towards Sidhu, has finally taken its toll, for reports in Pinkvilla suggest that the channel (Sony TV) has decided to replace Navjot Singh Sidhu from The Kapil Sharma Show and talks are on with Archana Puran Singh to sit on the guest seat. Pulwama Attack: Kapil Sharma, Vikas Gupta, Rannvijay Singha, Television Industry Condemns Terror Attack in Kashmir

Sidhu's statements came in the wake of the February 14 attack on a CRPF Convey, when a Jaish-e-Mohammed suicide bomber rammed an SUV laden with more than 350kgs of explosives. In what was called as one of the worst attacks on Indian soil, 40 CRPF Jawans lost their lives. Our heartfelt condolences to the family members of the slain soldiers.
