Days after his show was called off in Bengaluru following pressure from right-wing groups, stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui’s event met a similar fate in Mumbai on Sunday. The comic was to perform at Y B Chavan auditorium. His manager said the programme has been postponed. Faruqui, who has been in the cross hairs of right-wingers, performed in Hyderabad on Saturday amid heavy police presence. 

Munawar’s Mumbai show—Dongri to Nowhere—was affected reportedly because the organisers did not receive permission from authorities who feared that right-wing groups might disrupt the programme.
