Munawar Faruqui made the headlines last year over his alleged joke on Hindu gods. Although the comedian claims he never said anything wrong, a few Hindu groups took the matter into their hands and created controversy surrounding it. He even spent a few days in jail due to the same. Meanwhile, Munawar will soon be performing in Hyderabad but MLA T Raja Singh is not happy with it and claims he’ll burn down the venue if he performs in the city.

For the past few months, the comedian is back doing live shows after being on halt due to the controversy. He even participated in Kangana Ranaut-led Lock Upp, where he came out as the winner of the OTT reality show.

Munawar Faruqui recently announced the dates for his upcoming gig, Dongri to Nowhere. The comedian who is set to perform in Hyderabad on August 20, has now received a threat from a Telangana BJP MLA T Raja Singh, who claims to burn the venue if anyone gives him permission. Sharing the video on YouTube Singh said, “Isse pehle bhi ye comedian ka karyakram Hyderbad mein tha, jiska humne virodh kiya tha toh karyakram cancel ho gaya tha. 20 August ke din phirse uska karyakram lagaya jaa raha hai.”
