Mumbai, March 26 -- Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Wednesday expressed his support for stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra amid the controversy surrounding his remarks on Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and stated that the artist would rather die than submit or fear the alleged threats.

"I don't know who is threatening Kunal Kamra or why. Kunal Kamra is someone I have known for many years. He is not the kind of artist who gets scared of threats. He won't surrender (Jhukega nahi). He would rather die than bow down or be afraid. Those issuing threats will soon find it difficult to continue their path," Raut told the media.

Sanjay Raut also responded to UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's statement on the Kunal Kamra controversy.
