Poll strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor has defended comedian Kunal Kamra amid controversy over his ‘gaddaar’ remark about Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde. Speaking in Bihar’s Kathihar, Kishor dismissed claims that Kamra had a political agenda, stating, “Kunal is my friend. He lives in Puducherry, does organic farming, and has no hidden motives.” Kamra’s remarks led to vandalism by Shiv Sena supporters and legal action against him. The Madras High Court granted him interim bail, barring immediate arrest. Kishor urged that legal proceedings take their course but emphasized Kamra’s patriotism and respect for the Constitution.
