Three shows of comedian Munawar Faruqui, scheduled in Mumbai last week, were cancelled after Bajrang Dal members threatened event organisers that they would 'burn down the venue.' As per the organisers, the members claimed that Faruqui makes 'Anti-Hindu' jokes.
This comes after Faruqui's shows in Gujarat, scheduled to be held in early October, were cancelled on similar grounds.
Early this year, Faruqui was jailed for a month in Indore after a BJP MLA's son alleged that he heard the comedian practice jokes that 'insulted' the Hindu religion.
