Privilege action: Comedian Kamra points to Bal Thackeray's cartoon on Indira Gandhi

MUMBAI: (Apr 12) Questioning the Maharashtra legislature's action against him, stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has cited Bal Thackeray's cartoon criticising then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to argue that the late Shiv Sena founder never faced privilege proceedings.

Kamra has been served with a breach of privilege notice over his satirical song targeting Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who claims to be carrying forward the political legacy of Bal Thackeray.
