His recent Bangalore show was cancelled following complaints from two Sangh parivar outfits and police pressure on the organisers
Comedian Munawar Faruqui has hinted at quitting comedy after his latest event in Bengaluru was canceled citing law and order issues.
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.
Comedian Munawar Faruqui today 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.
The city’s police wrote to the organisers saying that several organisations were opposing show and it could potentially disturb public peace.
