Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis has said that legal action will be taken against comedian Kunal Kamra for insulting Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. He also said that the comedian must issue an apology for taking a musical jibe at Shinde, adding that such statements cannot be justified as “freedom of speech”.
“There is freedom to do stand-up comedy, but he cannot speak whatever he wants. The people of Maharashtra have decided who the traitor is. Kunal Kamra should apologise. This will not be tolerated. There is the right to comedy, but if it is being done to defame our Dy CM Eknath Shinde purposely, it is not right,” he added.
