The Kapil Sharma Show is in a spell of bad luck brought on by a jinx? One controversy after another; After Kapil’s mid-air stunt, Navjot Singh Sidhu has become the next target. Navjot Singh Sidhu, a comedian cum politician has been alleged to crack inappropriate jokes on the sets of the comedy show.
Reportedly, HC Arora, an advocate at the Punjab and Haryana High Court filed a complaint against the former cricketer saying, “I viewed the Kapil Sharma Show on Saturday from 9 pm to around 10: 15 pm.
He alleged that Navjot Singh Sidhu’s commentary was infused with vulgar, double-meanings and obscene dialogues. It violated various provisions of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, as well as those of the Information and Technology (IT) Act. Their dialogues offended my conscience while viewing the show along with my wife and daughters, HC Arora said.
Arora slammed Sidhu with a substantial complaint of breaching Indian Penal Code, 1860, as well as those of the Information and Technology (IT) Act. He said he will soon receive recorded version of the utterances of two comedians (Sidhu and Kapil). Recollecting instances from the show, he quoted Sidhu saying to Kapil Sharma, “Kapil, you please get married, otherwise after crossing 40-years of age, you shall lose your reproductive capacity.”
“Navjot Singh Sidhu further elaborated, saying ‘An old man once went to the toilet to attend nature’s call, when he returned he saw that he had not fastened the button of his pant. When asked for the reason, he replied, a road that has no treasure, what is the point of putting a lock to it?’ What Sidhu wanted to bring home to the audience was that an old man need not button up his pants, as he being virtually impotent, cannot harm any woman.
I would, therefore, call upon you to convey my feelings to chief minister, that the situation has reached such alarming proportions that the chief minister must rein his colleague Navjot Singh Sidhu,” Arora claimed.
Notably, this is not a novice complaint made by Arora on the derogatory remarks made by Sidhu. Arora had earlier filed a Public Interest Litigation against Sidhu.
“Everything is not about law, but what about propriety and morals? If a minister is not following service rules, how can he make his juniors follow it?” the Court asked Sidhu.
The final word on this issue is awaited. On May 11, a verdict from court can be expected.
