Comedic Controversy: Kunal Kamra Faces Privilege Notice in Maharashtra

Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra faces a breach of privilege notice from the Maharashtra legislative council for allegedly insulting Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The controversy arose after Kamra's parody performance led to a backlash from Shiv Sena supporters. Shiv Sena leader Sushma Andhare is also involved in the notice.

Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra finds himself at the center of a political storm after the Maharashtra legislative council admitted a breach of privilege notice against him. The notice accuses Kamra of mocking Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde during a recent comedy event.

The controversy erupted following Kamra's performance at Mumbai's Habitat Comedy Club, where he delivered a parody song aimed at Shinde. This act ignited fury among Shiv Sena supporters, resulting in vandalism at the venue.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sushma Andhare has also been implicated in the notice. The Privileges Committee will now review the complaint, and if found valid, it could be discussed in the House, intensifying the political drama.
