Twitter Slams Kiku Sharda’s Arrest for Mimicking Gurmeet Singh

Twitter reacted to the news of actor Kiku Sharda getting arrested for mimicking Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh.

Actor Kiku Sharda, who is popularly known as ‘Palak’ in the hit TV show Comedy Nights With Kapil has been sent to 14 days judicial custody. The actor had reportedly mimicked Baba Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh on the show.

Soon after the arrest, people took to Twitter to question the ‘tolerant’ government.

This Ram Rahim guy is the joke of the century anyway. And how can somebody be arrested for mimicking someone? https://t.co/i2EqILhqMe

Section 295A needs to go. Or modified. Or something. It gives every religious group ammo to go after anyone.

Congratulations India on speedily arresting someone for comedy. Now maybe you can do the same for actual crime soon.

These are the "Babas" of our times. Selling themselves as action heroes, while getting comedians put behind bars. This is "Ghor Kalyug"!
