During a comedy show, Kunal Kamra criticized Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde through a Bollywood parody song, triggering a backlash and sparking a debate on freedom of expression. Despite facing massive backlash, Kamra has stated that he does not regret his actions and will only apologize if instructed by courts. Shiv Sena has filed a complaint against Kamra and 12 party leaders were arrested for vandalism at the show's venue.
In a fiery speech, Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray called for an apology from comedian Kunal Kamra, before questioning whether Eknath Shinde, the Minister of Urban Development and RE Development, was a traitor or a thief. Thackeray also demanded action against Shinde and criticised the BJP's handling of the Mumbai roads scandal. Meanwhile, he defended Kamra's freedom of expression and denounced the vandalism carried out by a rival faction of Shiv Sena.
The row over stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra's recent remarks has led to several political figures, including Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan and Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs, speaking out in support of his freedom of expression. Ms Bachchan questioned the restrictions placed on speech in the country, while Mr Sawant defended Mr Kamra's comedy special, Naya Bharat as accurate and called for action against those who vandalised the venue where his show was filmed. The controversy has sparked conversations and debates about the limits of freedom of speech and the role of criticism in democracy.
Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray came to the defense of comedian Kunal Kamra and his recent remarks against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Thackeray stated that there was nothing wrong in calling someone a 'gaddar' (traitor) if it is true. Additionally, Aditya Thackeray questioned the violence at the Mumbai studio where Kamra's show was shot and called for an end to such actions. The controversy has sparked a heated debate on the issue of freedom of speech and criticism towards political leaders.

However, with Kamra now facing backlash for his latest controversy, his previous stance is being called into question on social media, branding him a hypocrite. Netizens are pointing out that Kamra supported the BMC's decision to vandalize Ranaut's property, but is now speaking out about freedom of speech when faced with a similar situation.
