Delhi Police denies permission to Faruqui after VHP letter

New Delhi, Aug 27 : Delhi Police denied permission to comedian Munawar Faruqui from performing here, police said on Saturday.

The development comes after the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) wrote a letter to Delhi Police Commissioner urging cancellation of Faruqui’s show on August 28 in the Central Delhi area.

In its letter, the VHP raised several objections against Faruqui’s show, and said if police would not cancel the show, then VHP and Bajrang Dal members would hold a protest against the show.

A VHP member in a tweet expressed gratitude to Delhi Police after cancel order.

A screenshot of an email was also posted which confirmed cancellation of the show.

Permission was denied to Faruqi after VHP Delhi president Surendra Kumar Gupta objected to his show scheduled at Dr SPM Civic Centre, Kedarnath Sahni Auditorium, from 2pm to 9.30pm on Sunday.

The VHP leader blamed the comedian for the recent Hyderabad clash on and said he mocks Hindu gods in his show.
