Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday backed stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra and said that the comedian is being targeted by the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde for labelling the deputy chief minister a traitor, news agency PTI reported. The former chief minister said Kamra has not done anything wrong and that he merely expressed his opinion. 

"He stated the facts and voiced the public opinion," Thackeray told reporters at Vidhan Bhavan in south Mumbai.
