We Will Not Leave Kunal Kamra Until He Apologises: Sanjay Nirupam
In a bold statement, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam has vowed to not leave comedian Kunal Kamra until he apologises for his recent remark on Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde. The remark has sparked outrage and controversy, with many calling for Kamra’s apology and some even demanding legal action.
The FIR against Kamra was lodged by the Shiv Sena leader, who has been leading the charge against the comedian. Nirupam has been vocal about his stance, stating that his party workers are on the lookout for Kamra, but he seems to have gone into hiding.
“Our people are searching for him, but we have come to know that he’s not in Mumbai and has probably fled from here,” Nirupam said in a statement. “We will not leave him until he apologises for his remarks.”
The controversy began when Kamra made a joke about Shinde during a stand-up comedy show. The Deputy CM was not amused, and soon after, the Shiv Sena leader lodged a complaint against Kamra. The FIR was registered under sections 295A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) and 505(2) (statements conducing to public mischief) of the Indian Penal Code.
The FIR has sparked a heated debate about freedom of speech and the limits of criticism. While some have defended Kamra’s right to express his opinions, others have argued that the comedian crossed the line by making fun of a public figure.
Nirupam, however, remains adamant that Kamra must apologize for his remarks. “We will not tolerate any derogatory remarks against our leader or our party,” he said. “Kamra has hurt the sentiments of many people, and he must take responsibility for his actions.”
The Shiv Sena leader’s stance has been backed by many in the party, who have called for Kamra’s apology. “We will not rest until Kamra apologises for his remarks,” said a party spokesperson. “We will not let him get away with insulting our leader and our party.”
The controversy has also sparked a debate about the role of comedians and the importance of responsible speech. While comedians have the right to express their opinions, many argue that they must also be mindful of the impact their words can have on others.
Kamra, however, has remained silent on the matter, with his team refusing to comment on the controversy. The comedian’s fans have come out in support of him, with many taking to social media to defend his right to express himself.
Despite the controversy, Nirupam remains determined to get an apology from Kamra. “We will not leave him until he apologises for his remarks,” he said. “He must take responsibility for his actions and show respect for our leader and our party.”
The controversy is set to continue, with many waiting to see how the situation unfolds. Will Kamra apologize for his remarks, or will he continue to maintain his silence? Only time will tell.
