Kunal Kamra A Issues Statement
Meanwhile, Kunal Kamra on Monday evening posted a statement with condemnation of vandalism at The Habitat Studio in Mumbai, where Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister supporters protested against his jokes about Shinde.
In a statement posted on Instagram account late Monday night, Kamra said those who are busy leaking his number on social media or calling him incessantly should know that it will all go to his voicemail, where he will be made to listen to "the same song" that they hate.
"I will not apologise... I don't fear this mob & I will not be hiding under my bed, waiting for this to die down," Kamra wrote and added that his statement was exactly what "Mr. Ajit Pawar (1st deputy CM) said about Mr. Eknath Shinde (2nd Deputy CM)".
What Was The Case ?
During his stand-up show, Kamra parodied a popular Hindi song from the film "Dil Toh Pagal Hai", which apparently referred to Shinde as a "traitor"(Gaddar). He also cracked jokes about the recent political developments in Maharashtra, including the party split within the Shiv Sena and the NCP.
