Why we say that›
Kunal Kamra's exact line at the protest is on record and drew backlash, but the claimed derailment has no evidence.
The remark and the resulting controversy are real. Searches found no reporting that the joke shifted headlines, gave the government an advantage, or caused supporters to step back. The causal claim fails.
