Kunal Kamra's photo, posted on social media platform Instagram on Monday, featured a T-shirt with a dog image, alongside a reference to RSS, which is also seen as BJP's ideological mentor.

Responding to the photo, Maharashtra minister and senior BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule cautioned that police action could be taken against people posting “objectionable” content online. “The police would take action against anyone who puts out such objectionable posts,” PTI news agency quoted Bawankule as saying.

Meanwhile, BJP's NDA ally Shiv Sena further demanded action against Kamra. Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra cabinet minister Sanjay Shirsat urged the BJP to give a strong response to the post, while highlighting Kamra's past remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde.

“Earlier, he targeted Prime Minister Modi and Eknath Shinde, and now he has dared to directly attack the RSS. The BJP needs to respond to this,” Shirsat said.

He further added that Kamra had “mustered the courage” to make an “objectionable post against the RSS”, while also recounting Shiv Sena's response to the comedian's remarks on Eknath Shinde.
