The Attorney General of India KK Venugopal, on Thursday, gave his consent to start criminal contempt of court proceedings against comedian Kunal Kamra for his derogatory tweets about the Supreme Court of India and its judges.
A letter was written to Mr. KK Venugopal, Attorney General of India seeking consent for initiation of contempt proceedings against stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra.
Now, Kunal Kamra has responded to it. Kamra wrote an open letter for the judges of the Supreme Court and the Attorney General of India KK Venugopal. Kamra wrote, "The tweets I recently put out have been found in contempt of court. All that I tweeted was from my view of the Supreme Court of India giving a partial decision in favour of a prime time loudspeaker. I believe I must confess I am very much love holding court and enjoying a platform with a captive audience. An audience of Supreme Court judges and the nation's topmost law officer is perhaps as VIP an audience as it gets. But I realise more than any entertainment venue I would perform in, a time slot before the Supreme Court is a scarce commodity."
