Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding comedian Kunal Kamra, emphasising the importance of adhering to legal boundaries

The opposition has condemned the vandalism by Shiv Sena workers at the venue where Kunal Kamra had performed.
After the Shiv Sena's youth group vandalised a stand-up comedy venue in Mumbai to protest against the alleged disparaging remarks made against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Congress leader Nana Patole on Monday claimed that there is lack of law and order in Maharashtra. He also claimed that industries are leaving the state "out of fear."
"There is no law and order in Maharashtra. People are leaving Maharashtra out of fear. The industries are leaving from here. The government urges that there should be peace in the state, but they are engaging in vandalism like this. They want to destroy Maharahstra," said Patole.
