Uri attacks have caused a great loss to India. Yes, the nation has lost 18 brave soldiers, who didn’t even think twice, before sacrificing their lives to provide us the much-needed protection. Indian Army was not going to keep quiet on this; it did take revenge from terrorists by conducting Surgical Strikes along the LoC.
Following this, Pakistani actors were banned from working in India. This surely gave rise to a lot of controversies; on one side there were people who favored this ban, while on the other side, there were some actors like Salman Khan, Karan Johar and Mahesh Bhatt, who thought that this ban wouldn’t help in curbing ‘Terrorism’. You would be surprised to know that even Om Puri has joined the club.
Yes, amidst all this, his statement has come out as a shock to the nation. In a live debate on a news channel, the actor didn’t even hesitate a bit to pass shameful remarks on Soldier Nitin Kumar, who sacrificed his life in Baramulla attacks.
He lost his cool and passed shocking statements which no Indian citizen must have expected. Om Puri kept supporting Pakistani artists and this gave rise to a heated debate.
When a reporter asked Puri as to why is he supporting them instead of backing our soldiers, who sacrificed their lives in the attacks, he just had one statement i.e. “Who asked him (Nitin Kumar) to join Indian Army?”. Is it the kind of answer we expect from an Indian citizen? Do our soldiers deserve this? A BIG NO!
Om Puri also said that instead of making India-Pakistan situation like Israel-Palestine one, the Government must take a step and cancel visas of those artists. He further said that there is no point getting in creating controversies, when visas and permits are being officially granted to them. Indirectly he blamed the Government! Of course, he was getting slammed by all, for such disgusting remarks.
Everyone was shocked to see how this 65 year-old actor can pass such remarks, in spite of his father being in the Army.
At the end, when the argument reached its peak, Om Puri said “Do one thing, make a team of 10-15 Indians and tie suicide vests to them. Then send them to Pakistan so that they would blow up something there.”
Passing such a rude and unwanted statement, he quit the debate! Want to watch his shameful remarks? Here’s the video…
