Hyderabadis give a befitting reply to BJP’s threats to stall Munawar Faruqui’s show
Hyderabad: Stand-up comedian and Lock Upp winner Munawar Faruqui was yet again attacked by the right-wingers as BJP MLA T Raja Singh on Thursday threatened to stop his upcoming show in the city. In his video message, the politician said that he will ‘set the venue on fire’ and even ‘beat him up’ if the comedian performed in the city.
