'Rise Up, Get Constructive': Sena Reacts To Kunal Kamra's Statement, Alleges He 'Wants To Spoil Law & Order'

He also alleged Kamra’s response to the whole episode suggests he wants to “spoil the law and order".

“Waiting !!! Come out and face the law… Shivsainik is also a Mumbaikar and you very well know… when you slip or do a paid activity next time… try to be funny but don’t crack bones… jab substance Se neend uthe toh voicemail aur bed Se bahar ayega… Burnol bheju ?" (sic), Kanal wrote, reposting Kunal Kamra’s response.

“Freedom of speech I’m the constitution doesn’t give you the freedom to talk crap about a leader or a respected individual on a constitutional post… Rise up and get constructive… your statement itself says that you want to spoil the law n order , law is above all !!! Satyameva Jayate !!!" (sic), he added.

Maharashtra Minister Gulab Raghunath Patil also reacted to Kamra refusing to apologise for his remark, and said, “If he doesn’t apologise, we will speak to him in our own style."

“Shiv Sena won’t leave him, we won’t tolerate this insult if he doesn’t apologise, he will come out, where will he hide? Shiv Sena will show its real form," he said.

Kanal was among the 12 Shiv Sena workers arrested on Monday for ransacking the venue at a Mumbai hotel where Kamra jibed at Shinde.

Hours later, a magistrate’s court granted bail to all of them.

As the controversy snowballed, Kamra said he would not apologise for his controversial comments, and questioned the vandalism of the venue in Mumbai.

THE KUNAL KAMRA CONTROVERSY

During his performance at the Habitat Comedy Club at the Unicontinental hotel in Khar area, Kamra had referred to Shinde, who heads the Shiv Sena, as a “traitor" and went on to sing a parody of him.

Enraged over the comments, Shiv Sena workers led by Kanal ransacked the venue of Kamra’s show on Sunday.

The Khar police identified 19 people and named them in the First Information Report (FIR) filed in connection with the incident.

Meanwhile, nearly 20 persons involved in the ransacking of the venue remain unidentified.

As per the police, Kamra used a modified version of a Hindi song from the 1997 movie ‘Dil Toh Pagal Hai‘ to mock Shinde over his 2022 rebellion against then-Chief Minister and Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray, news agency PTI reported.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 9) Dixit Gedam said two separate offences were registered at the Khar police station — one against Kamra over his comments and the other against vandals, the report stated.
