Kunal Kamra’s joke about Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has sparked outrage among Shiv Sena leaders. The comedian modified a song from the movie Dil To Pagal Hai to poke fun at Shinde, which didn’t sit well with the Shiv Sena party.
The video was recorded at Hotel Uncontinental, which was later vandalized by Shiv Sena leaders. They demanded an FIR against Kamra, accusing him of being financially motivated by rival political forces.Shiv Sena MLA Murji Patel even filed a complaint against Kamra, calling for strict action against him.
Kamra’s joke was seen as a reference to Shinde’s 2022 rebellion, which led to the split of Shiv Sena into two factions. The incident has sparked a debate about free speech and political satire in India.
