Comedian Kunal Kamra has ignited controversy by satirizing Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in a recent performance. Kamra's parody song labeled Shinde a "gaddar" (traitor), referencing Shinde's 2022 political shift. This led to Shiv Sena supporters vandalizing Mumbai's Habitat comedy club, where the act was recorded. Kamra responded, asserting his right to free speech and criticizing the attacks on the venue as misguided. He emphasized that it's not illegal to satirize political figures and questioned whether the law would equally address those resorting to vandalism. The incident has sparked broader discussions on freedom of expression in India. (PC: YouTube)
