Controversial Statement | Punjabi comedian Gurpreet Ghuggi Support Punjab Police

Chandigarh 23 May 2015: Punjabi comedian and actor Gurpreet Ghuggi is apparently caught into controversy for showering praise to Punjab police with special reference to role played in Punjab police in 1980s to 1990s period in Punjab.

“Actually we salute this department, because … remember last 20-25 years, if this department was not there… here no people were seen on roads after 6 pm, leave aside these functions” said Gurpreet Ghuggi during a program, apparently some award show aired by PTC Punjabi.

“These functions that we are holding here … there is a big sacrifice (by Punjab police) … and this Punjab police is such an ideal police which is being followed all over India. Whole India is following the policing of Punjab police taking it as a role model” said Gurpreet Ghughi.

Ghuggi’s comments have invited severe criticism over social media. A video clip of comedian’s utterances is being shared and re-shared over Facebook with strong comments condemning Gurpreet Ghuggi for glorifying the Punjab police.

People criticizing Gurpreet Guggi say that Punjab police had unleashed the region of state terror against civilian Sikh population of Punjab during 1980s-90s period.
