Kamra, known for his bold and politically charged humor, has stood by his comments, stating he does not regret his “gaddar” remark. He has indicated he will only issue an apology if mandated by a court order. This incident has ignited a broader debate about freedom of expression in India, especially concerning satire and its boundaries within the political sphere.
