I had just expressed my anger on Twitter: Kapil Sharma

Stand-up comedian Kapil Sharma on Saturday said he had only expressed his concern about corruption which took an unnecessary controversy. He also said he is not a part of any political organization to create such controversies.

Sharma said,” I have utmost respect for the honorable Prime Minister and Governments, both Union and State,  it's agencies and Statutory Bodies. I am a law abiding citizen and shall act as legally advised. This was my anger against corruption which I expressed on twitter.”
