01:30Live now to Udhav Thackeray who is currently speaking on the Kunal Kamra controversy.
02:01Live now to Udhav Thackeray who is currently speaking on the Kunal Kamra controversy.
02:19Okay so that's Udhav Thackeray clearly saying the what Kunal Kamra said was correct.
02:24But backing the comedian amid this controversy over Kamra's comments on Eknath Shinde, Udhav
02:29Thackeray says, you will call a Gaddar, a Gaddar, so what's wrong with that?
02:34That is in fact the reaction coming in from UBT Sena, he is reacting to the vandalism
02:39spree by Shiv Sena, he says that they are not part of the Shiv Sena, anyone who is a
02:44traitor is not a part of the Shiv Sena and so these are people who are not Shiv Sena.
02:48So Udhav Thackeray lashing out at Eknath Shinde saying that it's not offensive to refer to
02:53a traitor as a traitor.
02:56Let's bring in Hrithvik for more details, so on this Hrithvik, the Udhav Sena clearly
03:00backing Kunal Kamra interestingly enough because previously too they have been rather critical
03:05of the comedian.
03:06Absolutely Udhav Thackeray while speaking to media has backed Kunal Kamra's act and
03:15he has clarified that whatever poetry or the gig Kunal Kamra represents the reality of
03:25Maharashtra's state politics and it is not a satire is what he is trying to tell.
03:31At the same time he is also saying that the legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray's ideology is
03:37carried forward by Udhav Thackeray and not by the Gaddar Sena but at the same time he
03:44is also questioning the law and order situation in the state because if the demolition drive
03:51is conducted to demolish Fahim Khan's illegal structure in Nagpur as well as the studio
03:59in Khar where Kunal Kamra presented his gig he is asking that will the structures of those
04:06would be raised those who have made provocative statements as who have incited violence in
04:13Nagpur. Okay so the comment coming in right now from Udhav Thackeray saying very clearly
04:19that Kunal Kamra has only presented the reality of Eknath Shinde so there's nothing offensive
04:24in what he said this comes even as his son Aditya Thackeray too has said that Eknath
04:29Shinde is acting like a coward by going after Kunal Kamra this at a time when we're seeing
04:35of course outrage speaking and the Mahayati including Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis
04:40has completely backed Eknath Shinde saying that what in fact Kunal Kamra has said
04:44is not comedy but an insult a personal insult and that's why he's also been booked right now.
