Kamra Issues No Apology To SC’s Contempt Notice
Kunal Kamra, the comedian who faced contempt for making statement about the court’s functioning after it granted bail to journalist Arnab Goswami has denied apology to SC.
Kamra responded to the court stating brevity is the soul of comedy.
The Supreme court’s contempt was dismissed by Kamra while he wrote a six-page reply to the court saying ‘The suggestion that my tweets could shake the foundations of the most powerful court in the world is an over-estimation of my abilities... Just as the Supreme Court values the faith public places in it, it should also trust the public not to form its opinions of the court on the basis of a few jokes on Twitter... My tweets were not published with the intention of diminishing the faith of the people in the highest court. Comedians like Munawar Faruqui are jailed for jokes they did not make. School students are interrogated for sedition. Hope the court will demonstrate that free speech is a cardinal constitutional value. If the powerful are unable to tolerate rebuke and criticism, we will be reduced to a country of incarcerated artists and flourishing lapdogs.”
He further said “Most people do not react to jokes that do not make them laugh. They ignore them like our political leaders ignore their critics. That is where the life of a joke must end. Through my work, I attempt to abide by comedy’s tenet of comforting the afflicted, and afflicting the comfortable. Humour attempts to blunt the grimness of the situation.”
In his reply to Sc’s contempt notice, Kamra said there is no defence needed for jokes and it is the comedian’s choice to present the joke in whichever way he/she likes.
Kunal came into limelight several times for his acts including the one where he asked a few questions from Arnab Goswami and Indigo banned him for six months.
Kamra has been vocal about the government actions and has been supporting the farmer protests. While many call him a leftist, he generally is known for his political satire.
