Maharashtra govt summons Kamra for insulting 'traitor', remains silent on Solapurkar: Uddhav

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday said the Maharashtra government summoned comedian Kunal Kamra for insulting a "traitor," but took no action against actor Rahul Solapurkar over his "insult" of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He also targeted the BJP over its 'Saugat-e-Modi' initiative under which special kits for Eid are being distributed among Muslims, calling it "Saugat-e-Satta" (gift of power), and accused the saffron party of hypocrisy.

"When a comment was made against the 'traitor' (apparent reference to Eknath Shinde), the studio where the programme was recorded was stormed, and Kamra was sent two summons (for allegedly defaming Shinde). But has even a single summons been issued to Rahul Solapurkar, who allegedly insulted Shivaji Maharaj?" Thackeray asked, speaking to reporters
