What did Uddhav Thackeray say about Kunal Kamra’s remarks against Eknath Shinde?

Uddhav Thackeray was quoted as saying by ANI, “I don’t think Kunal Kamra said anything wrong. Calling ‘gaddar’ a ‘gaddar’ is not an attack on anyone…Hear the full song (from Kunal Kamra’s show) and make others hear it too.” He clarified that his party had nothing to do with the vandalisation of Habitat Studio at the Unicontinental Hotel in Mumbai’s Khar area. He added, “Shiv Sena has nothing to do with this attack; this has been done by ‘gaddar sena’…Those who have ‘gaddari’ in their blood can never be a Shiv Sainik.”

What did Kunal Kamra comment against Eknath Shinde?

Kunal Kamra, while performing at the Habitat Studio at the Unicontinental Hotel in Mumbai’s Khar area, referred to Eknath Shinde as a “traitor” and sang a parody of him. On Sunday night, several Shiv Sena workers went to the studio and vandalised it. On Monday, the Mumbai Police arrested 11 members of Shiv Sena’s youth faction, Yuva Sena, for being involved in the vandalisation of the Habitat comedy club, which was the venue of the stand-up gig.

The Police said that Yuva Sena stormed the comedy club in the middle of another comedian’s show, forced it to stop and then vandalised the venue where Kamra’s special was filmed.
