Maharashtra Minister and Shiv Sena leader Uday Samant on Friday slammed stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra for his past comments against women, the Supreme Court, industrialists such as Mukesh Ambani and Anand Mahindra as well as Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and dubbed them as signs of an "ill mentality".

Kamra has been booked for ridiculing Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, also the head of Samant's party, with the term "traitor" during an act performed in Khar, following which irate Shiv Sainiks ransacked the studio and the hotel in which it is located on the night of March 23.
