Bollywood, Comedians And TV Stars Come Out In Support Of Kiku Sharda!

He was arrested yesterday on the grounds of hurting people's religious sentiments, under section 295 A of Indian Penal Code. Devotees of Dera Sachcha Sauda Chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Insaan were outraged over his mimicry of the much talked about religious leader who has also starred in his won films like Messenger of God and MSG 2.

This is sad beyond words. Oppression of artists to save the religion-based frauds EVEN from jokes! Middle East hi bana do desh ko.

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

Section 295A for the longest time has been used to threaten artists. Even cops sometimes cant help but arrest because of the pressure.

If we celebrated Halloween widely in India there would be nakabandis checking on who's dressed as whom.

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

Kiku Sharda is a hero. Also - because, now if anyone impersonates MSG. You can't get arrested. Just say you're impersonating Kiku Sharda.

Someone imitates god - nothing. Kiku imitates someone - gets arrested. This is wrong on SO many levels its not even funny.

How many Sikhs were offended by RamRahim dressing up as Guru Gobind Singh? Protests all over Punjab, as I recall. No arrests then. Why not?
