Earlier this month, Kamra had dismissed media reports claiming that he had sought an adjournment from the privileges committee as “incorrect”.Responding to reports of a Shiv Sena warning issued regarding his visit to Mumbai, Kunal Kamra said he felt safe in the city.About the controversyThe controversy stems from a satirical performance in which Kunal Kamra adapted a Hindi song from the 1997 film Dil To Pagal Hai to comment on Eknath Shinde’s 2022 rebellion against former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Following the performance at a hotel in Mumbai’s Khar area, a group of Shiv Sena workers allegedly reached the venue and ransacked its office.Sushma also referred to the incident last year when the studio where Kunal had performed was vandalised after his parody song about Eknath Shinde.A breach of privilege motion was later initiated after the parody, first performed in a studio, was shared and sung on social media by Sushma. Appearing before the committee nearly a year later, Kunal said he respects the Constitution and would fully cooperate with the inquiry, adding that he would present a detailed response at the next hearing.
