Munawar Faruqui Bengaluru Show

Stand-up comedians Kunal Kamra and Munawar Faruqui were invited to hold a programme in the BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh after they were recently denied permission for shows in Bengaluru, only to have a BJP MLA call them "Pakistan's terrorists".

Comedian Munawar Faruqui indicated he may not do any more shows, after at least 12 of his shows were cancelled in the last two months due to threats from right-wing groups.

A show by comedian Munawar Faruqui scheduled to be held at an auditorium in Bengaluru today has been red-flagged by the police. In a letter to Good Shepherd auditorium in Bengaluru's Ashok Nagar, the police have asked to cancel the show.
