Video: Kunal Kamra Takes ‘Ram Naam, Ambani Ka Kaam’ Swipe At Centre During CJP Protest | X @ftnewsdaily
Comedian Kunal Kamra took a jibe at the Centre while addressing a gathering during a CJP protest on Wednesday, drawing laughter and applause from the audience. A video of his remarks has since gone viral on social media. Addressing the crowd, Kamra said, “Pehle toh main kehna chahunga ki yeh jo sarkar hai, yeh jo kar rahi hai, yeh bahut saalon se kar rahi hai. Aur humne yeh dekha hai ki yeh bas Sita ke pati ka naam lekar, Nita ke pati ka kaam kar rahi hai.” (“First of all, I would like to say that this government has been doing this (fooling people) for many years, and we have seen that these people are just taking the name of Sita’s husband (Ram-naam) and doing the work of Nita’s husband (Mukesh Ambani).”
The remark appeared to contrast the government’s invocation of Lord Ram with what Kamra suggested was a tilt towards corporate interests, referring to industrialist Mukesh Ambani through a wordplay involving his wife, Nita Ambani.Videos circulating online show a large crowd gathered to hear Kamra’s speech. Following the comment, members of the audience were seen laughing, cheering and applauding the comedian.
Kamra, known for his sharp political satire and criticism of the ruling establishment, has frequently courted controversy over his comments on political leaders and government policies. His latest remarks have also generated significant discussion on social media, with supporters praising his satire.
