TMC MP Derek O'Brien has invited stand-up comedian Vir Das to <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/kolkata-all" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Kolkata</a>, a day after his show in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/bengaluru-all" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Bengaluru</a> was cancelled at the last minute following protests by Hindu right-wing groups.
The protesting groups alleged that the show, scheduled to be held on Thursday, would hurt Hindu religious sentiments.
"Hello @thevirdas Come to #Kolkata. We would love to have you here this winter. DM me please. Let's get this going," the TMC's leader of the House in Rajya Sabha said in a tweet.

Das later uploaded a video on Twitter to deter any assumptions made on his content.
"I made this video after one of my shows, Just in Case. I have no interest in media spectacles or being used for headlines. I'm an artist. I shouldn't be on the news.
Many assumptions are made about my content. I trust my art and my audience to speak for me. #TrustTheAudience," Das tweeted.
Das' monologue "I come from two Indias" had stirred a row a year ago when he was criticised for allegedly defaming the country.&nbsp;
