“Kamra should come to Mumbai to put forth his point (before the police). The Centre protected Kangana Ranaut (fearing) that we would attack her. I demand that Kunal Kamra also get a special protection,” Raut told reporters.In 2020, a portion of Ranaut’s bungalow in Bandra was demolished by the Mumbai civic body for alleged alterations when Uddhav Thackeray was the chief minister, triggering an outrage and verbal spat between the actor and Sena leaders.The Centre subsequently extended protection to Ranaut, currently a BJP MP from Himachal Pradesh.Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Thursday justified the summons issued to the stand-up comedian, asserting that it should be done if it is required by the law of the land.Speaking at the Times Now Summit in New Delhi, Vaishnaw said, If the law of the land requires it, it should be done, when asked if summoning of Kamra by the police was too extreme an action.Vaishnaw said while the Constitution granted citizens certain rights, they were accompanied by some safeguards.
