Comedian Kunal Kamra and Shiv Sena leader Sushma Andhare appeared before the Privileges Committee of the Maharashtra Legislature in the matter of singing a satirical song on Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. However, due to the absence of the original complainant, BJP leader Praveen Darekar, the next hearing of the case will now be held on March 10. This information was given by committee chairman Prasad Lad.
Praveen Darekar had presented the proposal
Praveen Darekar had presented a breach of privilege motion against both of them. Due to this proposal, Kunal Kamra came to Mumbai after about a year and appeared before the committee. Sushma Andhare was also present at that time. But the original complainant Praveen Darekar could not attend due to some reason. Therefore, now the next hearing will be held on March 10. On that day the complainant and the accused party will record their statements face to face.
What did Kunal Kamra say?
After the hearing, Kunal Kamra said, “I believe in the Constitution. Today I appeared before the Privileges Committee, but the hearing did not take place. I will be present on the next date also. I will answer the allegations leveled against me at the same time.” During this time he had arrived wearing a T-shirt with ‘The Constitution of India’ written on it.
Accused of making the word ‘traitor’ an issue – Sushma Andhare
Sushma Andhare said that the related studio was vandalized after Kamra read the poem. He said, “We have sought information about the allegations leveled against us. First, the statement of the original complainant Praveen Darekar should be recorded, only then we will present our views. Why our views were not heard today, the committee will answer.”
Andhare alleged that Eknath Shinde BJP did not bring the privilege motion itself, but BJP leaders brought it so that the word ‘traitor’ comes up again and again in the House and remains in people’s attention. He also raised the question that Kunal Kamra had Narendra Modi But he has written poems many times, then why did the BJP leaders not object at that time?
Next hearing on March 10
Committee Chairman Prasad Lad said that the statements of Kunal Kamra and Sushma Andhare were to be recorded today, but due to the absence of the original complainant, this was not done under the legal provisions. Now on March 10, Praveen Darekar’s statement will be recorded in front of Kamra and Andhare, and Kamra and Andhare’s side will also be recorded in front of them.
