Mumbai: Respecting the people's sentiments, Cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu has been ousted from 'The Kapil Sharma Show' that airs on Sony TV. Sidhu recently made a controversial remark over the Pulwama Terror Attack.

He will be replaced by Archana Puran Singh on the show.

Reacting to the brutal terror attack, Sidhu asked “if an entire nation (Pakistan) can be blamed for a handful of people (Pakistan backed terrorists).

He said, “It (the terror attack) is a cowardly and dastardly act and I condemn it firmly. Violence is always condemnable and those who did it must be punished,” adding, “For a handful of people (Pak-based terrorists), can you blame the entire nation (Pakistan) and can you blame an individual?”

He soon became Twitteratis rage who urged Sony TV to remove him from The Kapil Sharma Show.

People on Twitter asked for a complete boycott of The Kapil Sharma Show that features Navjot Singh Sidhu as special guest.

It is to be recalled that last year Imran Khan had even invited Navjot Sidhu for his swearing in ceremony when he took oath as Pakistan’s prime minister. Despite the tense diplomatic situation between India and Pakistan and his senior colleagues advising him not to go, Navjot Sidhu went ahead citing his “personal friendship” with Imran Khan.
