NCPCR summoned Twitter India’s communications director on Wednesday for failing to submit a report of action against comedian Kunal Kamra.
The country’s peak children’s rights agency NCPCR summoned Twitter India’s communications director on Wednesday for failing to submit a report made against comedian Kunal Kamra for posting a “moral” video about A boy sang a patriotic song for Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Germany earlier this month.
On May 5, the National Committee for the Protection of Children’s Rights sought action against Kamra for posting the video “with content”.
The Commission has now asked the Director, Twitter Communications India, to appear on Wednesday with the details of the report made.
“A letter on this matter was sent to your good offices on 05.05.2022 calling for ATR (implemented report) in an instant complaint within 7 days or received the letter.
“However, the Commission has not received any such ATR,” the NCPCR said in a letter sent Tuesday.
Kamra purportedly shared the video of Modi’s interaction in Germany with the child but he replaced the song the boy sang – ‘Janmabhoomi Bharat’ – with “Mehengayi daayan khaaye jaat hain”, a Bollywood song about price increases.
