MUMBAI: It has also been forwarded to the breach of privilege motion committee headed by BJP legislator Prasad Lad. The panel, which will review the motion, is expected to send a notice to Kamra in due course.

BJP member of the legislative council, Pravin Darekar had, on March 26, the last day of the budget session, moved a breach of privilege motion against Kamra, accusing him of using derogatory language against deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde. Kamra's satirical song alluding to Shinde as a "gaddar" or "traitor" was released online during the budget session of the state legislature and it evoked protests in both Houses.
