However, whether they will accept Singh’s invitation to perform in Bhopal or any other part of Madhya Pradesh is yet to be seen.
Last month, Munawar Faruqui was denied permission to hold a show in Karnataka’s Bengaluru amid protests by the Hindu right wing outfits.
A few days later, Kamra, a vocal critic of the government, said his stand-up shows scheduled to be held in Bengaluru were cancelled after the organisers received threats.
In his post, Digvijaya Singh also tagged a news article related to Kamra.
Earlier this year, Faruqui had spent a month in jail at Indore in MP following a complaint by a BJP MLA’s son in January for allegedly hurting religious sentiments.
