Comedian Kunal Kamra summoned over remarks against Dy CM Shinde

Maharashtra legislative council’s privileges committee has summoned stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sushma Andhare for a hearing over their alleged insulting remarks against Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Kamra and Andhare were initially asked to appear before the panel at 2 pm on February 5. However, after both of them expressed their inability to attend, the hearing has now been rescheduled to February 17, the committee chairperson and BJP MLC Prasad Lad told PTI on Wednesday.
He said the notice was issued 15 days ago.
‘Kamra today communicated his inability to appear before the committee on February 5. So he has now been asked to depose on February 17,’ Lad said. The committee also rescheduled the hearing of Sena (UBT) leader Andhare.
