Navjot Singh Sidhu

Navjot Singh Sidhu was the judge on the Kapil Sharma Show until he was removed in 2019 for commenting on the horrifying Pulwama incident. Sidhu said, “For a handful of people, can you blame the entire nation and can you blame an individual? It (the attack) is a cowardly act and I condemn it firmly. Violence is always condemnable and those who did it must be punished.”

The Pulwama attack

On February 14, 2019, an explosive-laden SUV slammed into one of the buses from a 70-vehicle CRPF convoy in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama area, killing 40 CRPF jawans.
