Navjot Singh Sidhu who is facing ire over his comments on the Pulwama terror attack has been asked by the channel, Sony TV, to leave The Kapil Sharma Show. The Punjab Cabinet Minister, who is the judge of the comedy show is set to be replaced by Archana Puran Singh. Reportedly, the channel has started with the process of removing Navjot.

Reacting to the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir which left more than 40 CRPF jawans dead, the cricketer-turned-politician, while speaking to the media, had said, "For a handful of people, can you blame the entire nation and can you blame an individual? It is a cowardly act and I condemn it firmly. Violence is always condemnable and those who did it must be punished. 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."
