Shiv Sena workers branding Kunal Kamra as “Traitor: for his comments on Deputy CM Eknath Shinde. He was hosting his new show “Naya Bharat”.
Soon after the video goes viral on social media, Sena Workers vandalised the Habitat Comedy Club in Mumbai khar area where Kumal Kamra had performed.
This venue had hit the headlines earlier also in case of podcaster Ranveer Allahabadia when he made crass remarks during the shooting of the show “India’s Got Latent” where he comments about “parents sex” leading to police action in some regions. Multiple complaints were filed against Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and others involved in the show.
“We urge constructive conversations, not destruction, to address disagreements. We do not support hate or harm of any kind. Violence and destruction undermine the very spirit of art and dialogue,” the Habitat said in a post on their Instagram page.
The Habitat in its statement said it was shocked by the acts of vandalism.
“We are shocked, worried and extremely broken by the recent acts of vandalism targeting us.
“Artists are solely responsible for their views and creative choices. We have never been involved in the content performed by any Artist, but the recent events have made us rethink about how we get blamed and targeted every time almost like we are a proxy for the performer,” the comedy club said.
