Right-wing organisation Hindu Janajagruti has complained against Vir Das’s comedy concert that is set to take place in Bengaluru’s Malleshwaram.
The organisation complained to have the controversial stand-up comedian’s performance at Malleshwar’s Chowdiah Memorial Hall on November 10 cancelled.
The group said in the lawsuit that the comedian’s presentation offended Hindus’ religious sensitivities and painted a negative picture of India.
When Karnataka is already dealing with numerous law and order issues as a result of communal incidents, such events could vitiate law and order, the group claimed in its complaint. ‘In this background, it is not right to allow such a controversial person to hold such a programme in a communally sensitive area like Bangalore,’ it said.
A monologue that comedian Vir Das performed during a performance in the US caused uproar, with many people criticising him on social media for ‘insulting India.’
‘I come from two Indias’ is a YouTube video that was posted by Vir Das. His performance at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, DC included the monologue you can see in the video.
