MUMBAI: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has likened comedian Kunal Kamra’s jibe at him to taking “supari” (contract) to speak against someone, and said a decorum should be maintained while taking jibes, otherwise the action causes a reaction.Freedom of speech is there, but there should be a limit, Shinde said on Monday reacting to Kamra’s comments.The 36-year-old stand-up comedian has kicked up a major political storm in Maharashtra for taking a jibe at Shinde’s political career in his show.Kamra had performed a parody of a popular Hindi song from the film “Dil Toh Pagal Hai,” apparently referring to Shinde as a “gaddar” (traitor).He also made jokes about recent political developments in Maharashtra, including the Shiv Sena and NCP splits.
