Did Kunal Kamra spark new controversy? Comedian’s t-shirt post raises political storm

Comedian Kunal Kamra, who is mired in controversy, especially over his political satire, has stirred yet another storm with his latest social media post. On Monday, Kamra shared a picture on Instagram wearing a black T-shirt that reads “PSS”, but the design makes it resemble ‘RSS’, widely interpreted as a visual jibe at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ideological parent of the BJP.

Adding fuel to the fire, Kamra captioned the post: “Not clicked at a comedy club.”

The picture also included an illustration of a dog urinating, positioned in a way that viewers interpreted as a dig at the RSS. The post immediately triggered a wave of reactions, amusement from his supporters and anger from BJP leaders.

Kamra’s followers swarmed the comments section with reactions.

One user wrote: “Tshirt thoda casual h.”

Another commented: “Put that T-shirt on sale!”

Several others joked that Kamra was “inviting trouble again,” given his history of run-ins with authorities over political commentary.

The post has drawn sharp criticism from the BJP.

Maharashtra minister and senior BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule condemned the post, saying the government would not ignore such content.

“The police would take action against anyone who puts out such objectionable posts,” Bawankule warned, referring to the T-shirt image depicting a dog alongside a reference to the RSS.
