Hindu Janajagriti Samiti on Monday lodged a complaint against comedian Vir Das for his alleged derogatory remarks and demanded cancellation of his stand-up comedy programme scheduled to be organized in Bengaluru on November 10, as his shows "hurt religious sentiments of Hindus and show India in a bad light to the world."

In a complaint to the Vyalikali police station on Monday, the Samiti leaders said that they had information that Vir Das, an Indian American comedian, is holding a show at Chowdiah Memorial Hall in Malleshwaram, Bengaluru.
