Vir Das on Two Indias reference in Parliament

Vir shared a video on X, and wrote, "In PARLIAMENT? Really? This happened last night (sic)." During his speech, Abhishek mentioned that in November 2021, thousands of miles away from India at the Kennedy Centre, Vir Das spoke about two Indias. While some laughed, some were clearly offended. The MP further said, “Few paused to listen, but what he offered was not comedy. It was a warning, a prophecy, a mirror held up to a nation standing at the edge of its own contradictions because I, too, sir, come from two Indias.”
