- Tussle between Kiku Sharda, police finally ends
"The aim of the artistes is to entertain. They do mimicry of big artistes. I don't think there was any need to arrest him (Kiku). I am very surprised (that this happened)," Mann said. Kapil Sharma, who shares the screen space with Kiku on "Comedy Nights With Kapil", tweeted: "I have an humble request to Sant Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singhji 'Insaan' that he should come forward before the media and stand in favour of an artist, who is trying to entertain and spread happiness, and set a beautiful example of humanity. Let's come and work towards peace and happiness." The sect chief had found himself in the midst of a major controversy in May 2007 when he was accused of hurting the religious sentiments of the Sikhs and booked by Punjab Police. Sikh organisations had accused Gurmeet Ram Rahim of wearing an attire in an advertisement, resembling 10th Sikh guru Gobind Singh. The controversy led to violent clashes between Sikhs and sect followers, particularly in southwest Punjab. The sect chief was booked by Punjab Police for hurting the religious sentiments of the Sikh community.
