Mumbai, March 24 -- Union Minister Ramdas Athawale slammed Kunal Kamra for his remarks on Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and said that he should call Uddhav Thackeray a 'traitor' first who betrayed BJP.

Further, he stated that if Kunal Kamra is an artist, he should not sing songs to criticise anyone.

"If he is an artist, he should not sing songs to criticise anyone. He should not get into such issues. It is not right to use such language.

If he wants to be a good artist, he should not sing such songs...", Ramdas Athawale said to ANI on Monday.
