The Chattisgarh state outfit of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) asked the Raipur administration not to give permissions to comedian Munawar Faruqui to perform or host any program.
Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Santosh Chaudhary said Bajrang Dal and VHP submitted a written application to Raipur Collector and Superintendent of Police and demanded that the show should not be permitted in Raipur as Faruqui allegedly mocked Hindu deities in the past.
“Faruqui mocked our Gods in past and such anti-Hindu people should not be permitted in the capital. And if the administration permits, it will be the administration’s responsibility because we will stop the programme in our own way,” said Chaudhary.
In January this year, the comedian was arrested in Indore for making objectionable statements about Hindu gods.
Mohammad Inam, the organizer of the show by Munawar Faruqui in Raipur, said that they are awaiting permission from the local administration.
Recently, he had said that in an Instagram video that “If Supreme Court can allow me to work, how can somebody stop me from doing work?”
