Following is the text of his message:
“It was with utter disbelief and shock that I came to know about the tragic and untimely demise of Sardar Jaspal Singh Bhatti today. Destiny has suddenly snatched away from us a pious soul who brought a smile on every face. It is an irreparable loss, not only to the Bhatti family, but the entire nation. A deeply religious person, Bhatti sahib not only worked tirelessly to make the people aware of various evils that afflict our society, but also spearheaded a number of philanthropic initiatives. His hard-hitting yet light-hearted satire touched the public conscience and left a deep impact on everyone. The cartoonist, actor and filmmaker in him struck a chord with and won the hearts of millions of people. Jaspal Bhatti has earned a place in the league of artists who will ever rule the hearts of people, regardless of their physical absence.
I express my deep condolences to Smt. Savita Bhatti and all family members. May Almighty grant them strength and courage to bear the loss with fortitude. I also pray for speedy recovery of Jasraj Bhatti”.
