00:00And we have some news just coming in at this point in time, this is the first response
00:09of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Iknath Shinde on Kunal Kamra joke, Shinde says, we
00:15know satire but there should be a limit, freedom of speech exists but with limits, freedom
00:20of speech is there, we understand satire but there should be a limit.
00:25This is the Deputy Chief Minister Iknath Shinde responding to what Kunal Kamra had said.
00:32He will be punished, if you are going to insult Honourable Supreme Court, if you are going
00:47to insult Honourable Prime Minister of India, if you are going to insult Hindus, Gods and
00:54Goddesses, it is not tolerable, you cannot behave like this in Maharashtra or in India.
01:01As a comedian, we also enjoy comedy, I enjoy Veer Das, I enjoy, in my childhood I enjoyed
01:07Pula Deshpande, but this is not kind of comedy which will be tolerated in Maharashtra.
01:12If he doesn't apologize, we will tell him in our style, if he doesn't apologize, we
01:17will tell him in our style, if he doesn't apologize, we will tell him in our style,
01:22if he doesn't apologize, he will come out, where will he hide?
01:25The government has made all the statements to adopt the form of Honourable Chief Minister,
01:29Shiv Sena will tell his form?
01:31Vidya, getting in more details on that story at this point in time, Vidya, that's a reaction
01:35of the Deputy Chief Minister, he's been critical of what Kunal Kamra did and the kind of fall
01:41out of that satire, that political satire, Vidya.
01:44Well, of course, the Shiv Sena and Eknath Shinde not taking it lightly, you know, though
01:52Kamra said that he will not apologize for what he has said, but then of course, the
01:58Shiv Sena and Eknath Shinde believe that, you know, he has taken a stand which is, you
02:05know, which seems like someone as they call in their very colloquial language, the Supari
02:11and from the UBT Sena and speaking their language and that's something that is not acceptable
02:17to the Eknath Shinde led Shiv Sena and that's the reason why we saw this entire rampage
02:22that happened at the habitat where this entire shoot had been done and of course, you know,
02:29the prosecution that Kamra will now be facing because of this entire incident, there are
02:35two FIRs that have been registered against him, one at the MIDC police station and the
02:39other at the Khar police station itself.
02:41So, you know, in both these cases, we will be seeing, you know, that the police will
02:46try to, you know, get hold of Kamra, he is not in Mumbai right now, he is in a location
02:52that Shiv Sena claimed is in south of India, but we'll really have to see whether, you
02:57know, what really happens in these two FIRs that are registered against him now.
03:01All right, I'm going to thank you for the moment, Vidya, getting us up to speed with
03:04those details as far as the reaction of the Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is concerned
03:10with regard to the comments made by Kunal Kamra against him.
