Council admits breach of privilege notice against Kamra; comedian vents ire at media

MUMBAI: (Mar 27) Comedian Kunal Kamra continued to face heat for his jokes on Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde as the Legislative Council admitted a breach of privilege notice against him, while a state minister on Thursday sought his arrest, saying "we know how to drag him out".

Twice summoned by the Mumbai police, the 36-year-old stand-up comic, whose caustic comments on Shinde during his latest show in the metropolis, have landed him in trouble and triggered a huge row, vented his ire at the media, calling it a “miscommunication arm” of the ruling party.

Amid mounting legal trouble for Kamra, the state Legislative Council has admitted a breach of privilege notice against him for allegedly insulting Shinde, who heads the Shiv Sena, during his recent performance.
