Comedian Vir Das's Show Cancelled in Bengaluru

Comedian Vir Das's Show Cancelled in Bengaluru

 Vir Das' stand-up comedy event in Bengaluru, which was scheduled to begin today, has been postponed, the comedian informed on Instagram. After a right-wing group complained that Mr Das's show "hurts Hindu emotions and depicts India in a poor way," the show was cancelled.

"We are promoting the Bengaluru performance due to unforeseen circumstances. shortly, new information and dates "Mr. Das remarked, expressing regret for the trouble.

The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti applied pressure on the show's organiser, forcing them to call off the sold-out event. The price of each ticket varied from 2,000 to 3,500. The show's organisers will pay back anyone who purchased tickets.

The Vyalikaval police station has received a police complaint from the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti. The comedian was scheduled to perform today at the Chowdiah Memorial Hall in Malleshwaram. He received a significant backlash last year after his "Two Indias" monologue went viral in the US.

"He had previously insulted the country and made remarks about women, our Prime Minister, and India at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. During the performance, he had remarked, "In India, we worship women in the day and rape them at night," "claimed Sri Mohan Gowda, the state spokesperson for Hindu Janajagruti Samiti.

The right-wing group expressed displeasure that such a divisive figure should be permitted to hold a programme in Bengaluru.

"Such events that could undermine peace and order should not be permitted, especially in light of the numerous law and order issues that Karnataka is already experiencing as a result of racial incidents. We demand that this programme be immediately cancelled "added he.

In the monologue "Two Indias," Vir Das contrasted the two sides of the nation and made general references to a number of hot-button issues, including the Delhi gang rape, farmer demonstrations, and pollution.

At the time, Mr. Das defended himself by stating that it is his responsibility to produce satire and that he will continue to write "love letters to my country" as long as he is able to do comedy. Mr. Das has since been nominated for an international Emmy for his Netflix series "Vir Das: For India."
