500+ Hindus Threaten Mass Self-Immolation Over Comedy Show
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 23/11/2021

On November 14th, a comedy club in Goa canceled controversial comedian Munawar Faruqui’s sold-out show after over 500 Hindus threatened to set themselves on fire if he was allowed to perform. Faruqui became an international symbol of India’s suppression of free expression earlier this year when he and four other artists were arrested for allegedly making “indecent” remarks against Hindu deities. Despite the police openly acknowledging that they had no evidence that Faruqui told such jokes, he spent 35 days in jail. The case against him was motivated by his Muslim background. After his release, extreme right-wing Hindu groups have continued to target Faruqui over his stand-up comedy, and numerous shows have been cancelled after credible threats. Earlier this month, the Hindutva vigilante gang Bajrang Dal threatened to burn down a Mumbai venue if Faruqui continued his performance. While the militant Hindus attempt to stifle his domestic performances, their attacks have garnered an international audience for Faruqui.
