Controversial stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui has been dropped from an upcoming three-day comedy show later this month in the wake of several complaints filed against him by the BJP Haryana unit’s IT department head. In his complaint to the Gurugram police, Arun Yadav, IT department head, Haryana BJP, said that Mr. Faruqui had insulted Hindu deities divine to his faith and so he was not a suitable comedian for them. The fact that the controversial comedian continuously did so on open platforms such as live performances and shows, says it all.
