Kangana Ranaut Reacts To Kunal Kamra's 'Traitor' Remark On Eknath Shinde, Says 'To Dishonour Anyone Is Not Right'

Kunal Kamra has been embroiled in a controversy after he took a jibe at Eknath Shinde by calling him a 'traitor' for switching sides. Kangana Ranaut is the latest celeb to address the row, and said that in the name of comedy one can't disregard someone's work. She told news agency, PTI that Shinde worked hard to achieve where he is. She questioned Kamra's credentials and said in the name of comedy they "abuse and make fun of holy books".  

"To dishonour anyone is not right... in the name of comedy you are disregarding someone's work. Shinde ji used to drive rickshaw long ago and he has achieved so much on his own. What credentials he (Kunal Kamra) has? Who are they? In the name of comedy they abuse, make fun of our holy books, people. They call themselves influencers... we need to think where our society is going just for two minutes of fame..." Kanagan was quoted saying.

Kunal Kamra summoned by Mumbai Police over his remark on Eknath Shinde

On Tuesday, Mumbai Police summoned the comedian asking him to appear before the investigating officer today by 11 AM. Khar Police sent a summon to the comedian's house, but it has been reported that he is not in Mumbai. The summon came after Kamra issued a statement refusing to apologise, saying he wouldn't bow down to the mob trying to threaten him.

Meanwhile, MIDC registered an FIR against Kamra for his defamatory remarks against Shinde during a show, Naya Bharat. He was booked under various Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) actions, including 353(1)(b) (statements conducing to public mischief) and 356(2) (defamation), an official from MIDC police station said.

What did Kunal Kamra say about Eknath Shinde during the stand-up act Naya Bharat?

During his show, Kunal discussed Maharastra politics and jibed at Shinde for switching sides. “Meri nazar se tum dekho to gaddar nazar wo aaye. Haaye!" was a line from his act. He was seemingly referring to the split of the Shiv Sena faction into two - the Shinde faction and the Uddhav Thackeray faction.

This didn't go down well with the members of Shiv Sena and they vandalised the studio to express their displeasure and anger.
