The
ban
on
Pakistani
artistes
following
the
Uri
attack,
has
divided
the
B-town
in
two
parts.
One
party
is
supporting
the
ban,
while
some
are
against
it.
But
the
recent
statement
from
the
veteran
actor,
Om
Puri
has
left
us
shocked!
During
a
live
debate
on
a
TV
channel,
referring
to
the
Indian
soldiers
Om
Puri
aggressively
said,
"We
haven't
forced
them
to
join
army."
He
further
added,
"Prepare
15-20
people
as
suicide
bomber
and
send
them
to
Pakistan."
As
expected,
within
a
few
hours,
Twitterati
started
criticizing
the
actor
and
vented
out
their
frustration
on
the
social
media..
Below
Are
A
Few
Tweets:
"Om
Puri"
You
lost
all
the
respect
as
an
artist
and
as
a
person!!
You
have
no
right
to
talk
about
soldiers
as
they
are
not
talking
abt
you
Earlier
in
the
day,
Om
Puri
also
talked
about
the
ban
on
Pakistani
artistes
and
said,
"Pakistani
artistes
are
not
working
illegally
here
and
if
they
are
sent
back,
Indian
producers,
who
have
signed
them
for
their
films,
will
suffer
heavy
losses."
While
talking
about
the
recent
surgical
strikes
by
the
Indian
army,
Om
Puri
said,
"When
the
government
is
taking
an
action,
we
all
should
stay
quiet.
It
hardly
matters
if
we
send
back
the
artists
from
Pakistan,
who
are
working
here,
or
let
them
stay.
I
have
been
to
Pakistan
six
times
and
have
met
people
from
all
strata.I
have
always
received
love
and
warmth.
If
the
Pakistani
actors
leave
the
projects
they
are
doing
here
in
middle,
then
people
in
India
(filmmakers)
will
also
face
financial
loss."
