The Maharashtra Legislative Council on Friday passed a motion allowing the privileges committee to submit its report on comedian Kunal Kamra by the final day of the state legislature's next session. The report pertains to remarks Kamra made against Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, reported news agency PTI.

BJP MLC Prasad Lad, who chairs the committee, moved the motion in the House, seeking an extension until the last day of the session to submit the report concerning both Kamra and Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Sushma Andhare. BJP MLC Pravin Darekar had initiated a breach of privilege notice against Kamra during the state legislature's Budget session for his comments targeting Eknath Shinde, who heads the ruling Shiv Sena.

The notice stated that Kamra's parody song contained insulting references aimed at Shinde. It further alleged that Andhare had supported Kamra and used objectionable language, which constituted contempt of the legislature.
