Twitter and other social media platforms are flooded with posts against Navjot Singh for his comments, which, people deem, indirectly indicate support towards Pakistan.
Navjot Sidhu said, “It (the terror attack) is a cowardly and dastardly act and I condemn it firmly. Violence is always condemnable and those who did it must be punished.” He further said, “For a handful of people, can you blame the entire Nation and can you blame an individual?”
