Gujarat– Comedian Munawar Faruqui, who was in news last year for certain controversial remarks on religion and was also arrested for the same, has now said that he might no longer take to the stage for his sketches after what happened in Bengaluru.

On Sunday, Faruqui was visibly upset after the organizers of his show were contacted by the Bengaluru police regarding his performance after a right-wing organization submitted a memorandum to ban the comedian’s show.

After this incident, the comedian took to Instagram to express his disappointment saying, “Nafrat jeet gayi, artist haar Gaya (hate has won, the artist has lost). I’m done, goodbye. Injustice.”

The letter was addressed to Vishesh Dhuria from Curtain Call events from the police inspector of Ashoknagar police station. The show was scheduled to be held at Good Shepherd auditorium on Sunday, 28 November but it got canceled.

The police further said that many of the organizations are also opposing the stand-up comedy show performed by Faruqui and it is better to cancel the show as it would lead to chaos and disturb public peace and harmony.
