Maharashtra Council Panel Summons Kunal Kamra and Sushma Andhare Over Remarks on Deputy CM Shinde

The Maharashtra Legislative Council's Privileges Committee has summoned comedian Kunal Kamra and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sushma Andhare for hearings over alleged insulting remarks against Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The summons follow a breach of privilege motion moved by BJP MLC Pravin Darekar, citing Kamra's parody song referring to Shinde as a 'traitor' and Andhare's supportive video. Hearings were initially scheduled for early February but rescheduled to mid-February due to their unavailability. The committee warned of possible action if they fail to appear. Separate hearings involve NCP worker Suryakant More over remarks against the council chairman.
