Earlier in the day, clearing the air over the Congress leader's controversy of continuing his appearance on 'The Kapil Sharma Show', the Advocate General had asserted that he will submit the detailed report to the Punjab Government.

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh had said that Sidhu should be allowed to do the television show, if that is his main source of income. He personally felt Sidhu should be allowed to make his living by continuing to earn through the TV show, if that was his main source of income, an official release quoting the Chief Minister said.

"How does one live without adequate income?" he asked, adding "do they (those opposing Sidhu's appearance on the TV show) want to make ministers corrupt (by stopping them from earning their livelihood)?" As he did not know the legal issues in the matter, Amarinder said he would wait for the Punjab Advocate General's opinion, the release said.

Amarinder had earlier said he had no objection on Sidhu continuing to appear on television, but would change his portfolio of culture minister if it was in conflict with his show.
