Event Summary

Comedian Kunal Kamra has ignited a fresh controversy by sharing a photo on social media wearing a T-shirt that allegedly mocked the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. This act drew strong condemnation from leaders of the India — Bharatiya Janata Party and its ally India — Shiv Sena (UBT) in Maharashtra. Chandrashekhar Bawankule, a senior India — Bharatiya Janata Party leader, warned of police action against those posting objectionable content. Sanjay Shirsat, a India — Shiv Sena (UBT) cabinet minister, urged a firm response from the India — Bharatiya Janata Party, recalling Kunal Kamra's past criticisms of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. In March, Kunal Kamra faced backlash for critical comments against Eknath Shinde, which led to India — Shiv Sena (UBT) members vandalizing the Habitat Comedy Club in India — Mumbai. Kunal Kamra responded to the latest controversy by stating the photo was 'not clicked at a comedy club,' hinting at the previous incident.
