NEW DELHI: Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday voiced support for standup comedian Kunal Kamra over his ‘gaddar’ remark directed at Shiv Sena chief and Maharashtra deputy CM Eknath Shinde.
Escalating his attack on the Shiv Sena faction led by Shinde, Thackeray said, “Calling ‘gaddar’, a ‘gaddar’ is not an attack on anyone,” and urged people to “Hear the full song (from Kunal Kamra’s show) and make others hear it too.”
Meanwhile, addressing reports of vandalism at the Habitat Centre and Unicontinental venue, Thackeray said, “Shiv Sena has nothing to do with this attack, this has been done by ‘gaddar sena’…Those who have ‘gaddari’ in their blood can never be a Shiv Sainik.”
BMC inspects Kunal Kamra’s show venue, unauthorized shed to be removed
The venue in Khar West where comedian Kunal Kamra recently performed was inspected by BMC officials on Monday morning. During the review of the ground-plus-three-storey building’s plans, officials identified a temporary shed at the entrance that had been erected without civic approval.
A senior BMC official confirmed that while the civic body had planned to remove the shed, the owners requested time to dismantle it themselves. Meanwhile, officials are verifying whether the building’s structure aligns with its approved plans.
