Comedian Kunal Kamra is constantly in the headlines after making controversial comments about Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde with the help of a film song. All Shinde supporters including Shiv Sena MP say that Kunal will have to apologize to Shinde immediately. Amidst the continuous rhetoric, Kunal Kamra released his detailed statement late on Monday night. Kamra said that he did not say anything for which he should apologize. In a detailed statement released on his official X handle, he said, 'I will not apologize. What I said is the same as what Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has also said.'
CM Fadnavis said - Apology should be made.
According to Kamra, Ajit Pawar has also made comments like 'treachery' about Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. He said that he was not afraid of this crowd. Kamra said, he will not hide under his bed and wait for this incident to calm down. On the controversial remarks of the 36-year-old comedian, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, Kamra should apologize for his comments.
Also commented on threatening calls and freedom of the press in India.
Along with refusing to apologize for controversial remarks, Kamra also said that people calling to threaten will hear the same song that they hate. Those who are leaking my number or calling continuously, I am sure they must have understood by now that all the unknown calls are going to voicemail. Kamra also said that the way this matter is being reported in the media needs to be thought about. Kamra said that India comes at number 159 in the list of top countries in the world in terms of press freedom.
An act like overturning a truck loaded with tomatoes when the taste of butter chicken is not liked
On the news of the destruction of Habitat Center, Kunal Kamra said, that places built as entertainment places are only a stage. There are different types of shows here. Habitat (or any other such place) is not responsible for my comedy. They also have no control over what I will say or do. No political party has the right to control it either. Attacking a place for the words of a comedian is as absurd as overturning a truck loaded with tomatoes because you don't like the taste of butter chicken.
Comedian Kamra responded to the leaders.
Kamra also responded to those leaders who have asked him to apologize. In the second part of his statement, Kamra wrote, this is for those "political leaders" who are threatening to teach me a lesson. Kamra said, 'Even though today's media is trying to make us believe something else, our right to freedom of expression is not only for praising the powerful and rich people.' He said, 'If you cannot tolerate a joke that has been made on an influential person, it does not mean that my right to this will end. As far as I know, it is not illegal to criticize our leaders and our political system. I am ready to cooperate with the police and the courts in any legitimate legal action.'
Is demolition a proper action? Next show at a place that needs to be demolished...
Questioning the legal action, Kamra asked, 'Will the law be equally applied against those who have decided that demolition is the proper response when they are hurt by a joke?' The comedian said, will action also be taken against those non-elected BMC officials who came to Habitat today without any prior notice and demolished places with hammers? Kamra also made a statement on organizing his next show in the current situation. He said, perhaps he would like to select Elphinstone Bridge or any dilapidated structure in Mumbai for his next show, which needs to be demolished.
Shiv Sena MP called Kamra a hired comedian.
In this case, Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske called Kamra a 'hired comedian'. He said he was commenting on our leader for some money. Forget about Maharashtra, Kunal Kamra cannot move freely anywhere in India. Shiv Sainiks will show Kamra his place. We feel sorry for Sanjay Raut and Shiv Sena (UBT) that they have no party workers or leaders left to comment on our leader. That is why they are hiring people like Kunal Kamra for this job... We follow the ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray. Mhaske said, 'We will ensure that Kunal Kamra cannot move freely neither in Maharashtra nor anywhere in the country. Kunal Kamra will get a befitting reply, he will come and apologize for his mistake.'
