Four days after standup comedian Munawar Faruqui announced his new show “ Dhandho” in Hyderabad on January 9, the Telangana unit of Bharatiya Janata Party has announced that it would not allow the show to take place at any cost. BJP chairperson Bandi Sanjay on Saturday provided a decision to the workers of BJP Yuva Morcha to go all out to prevent Munawar Faruqui from performing in Hyderabad. “ It’s your responsibility to prevent Munawar Faruqui from entering the city,” he told them at a function at the state party office. BJP lawyer from Hyderabad T Raja Singh also wrote a letter to Director General of Police M Mahender Reddy not to give permission to Faruqui to perform his show in the city, as it was meant for creating hatred against Hindu religion and gods. He
reminded that Faruqui had earlier been arrested and imprisoned for 37 days in the past for creating hatred against Hindu gods. “He also made serious comments against Union home minister Amit Shah in a programme at Indore in January. He also made comments against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), Godhra incident and Kar Sevaks etc,” he said.
