Kunal Kamra's Hyderabad Show Faces Right-Wing Opposition and Venue Change
Kunal Kamra's Hyderabad stand-up show on October 11 faced opposition from right-wing groups, including the Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal, who accused him of insulting Hindu deities Ram and Sita. The 6pm show venue was shifted due to threats, while police detained some protesters to maintain order. Hindu leaders questioned the Telangana government over permitting the event despite complaints, calling for equal legal scrutiny. Kamra's previous critical remarks about the BJP-led government and Hindu figures have sparked similar protests elsewhere.
