Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu’s controversial comment on Pulwama attack landed him in a big trouble. Now, after Sidhu, comedian Kapil Sharma has also in a big trouble. A day after comedian reportedly said at an event in Chandigarh that 'banning or sacking' Navjot Singh Sidhu from his The Kapil Sharma Show because of Mr Sidhu's comments on the Pulwama terror attack is 'not a solution,' Twitter users got is baying for blood and started #BoycottKapilSharma trend.
In an drug event in Chandigarh yesterday, Kapil Sharma said, "These are very petty things, or can also be part of propaganda. I feel banning someone or sacking Navjot Singh Sidhu from the show is not the solution. If removing Sidhuji would have been a permanent solution, then he would have himself walked out of the show. We need to look for a permanent solution."
Many on Twitter have not taken kindly to what others have pointed out is a very measured response from the comedian. #BoycottKapilSharma is today's top trend and people are slamming comedian.

Earlier, Sidhu said about the Pulwama attack: "For a handful of people, can you blame the entire nation and can you blame an individual?".He also added, "It (the attack) is a cowardly act and I condemn it firmly. Violence is always condemnable and those who did it must be punished."

Social media turned almost instantly on The Kapil Sharma Show, demanding that Mr Sidhu be dropped or the series banned. On Saturday, Archana Puran Singh stepped in the Show in place of Mr Sidhu, although it is not clear if this is a temporary or permanent posting.
