It is high time to realize that being seculiar does’nt mean giving special previleges or freedom to minorities. Everybody should respect each other religion and religious sentiments.

Common public should become most aware for whether to be carried away to wrong narratives or not.
MF and people like him should not take anybody’s religion and regious sentiments lightly. If done so, then have to face the consequences , do not blaim then.
Let this joker utter a single word against Prophet Mohammed. Then we will what you have to say about ‘ freedom of expression’. This freedom is available only to these Muslims / Communists / Anti Hindu / Anti National people only?
Our defination of secularism mind your own religion and respect others, if you’re etheist like communists, be so which doesn’t give freedom to joke at the cost of other religious beliefs. Today we redefine what is secularism and freedom of speech.
Wow. This article leave an impression that MF is freedom fighter. He is two bit of a standup comic who don’t have gut of making jokes on his religion.
He should be penalised for making derogatory comment and served the maximum punishment.
It will be reminder for those who make money by making cheap comment on other religion.
The first paragraph of this article is where I stopped reading it. Dongri is in South Mumbai. Not Navi Mumbai. Don’t y’all research at all before writing anything or are y’all just paying free salaries to the writers?

He deserved it and going forward we will make sure many will be under the shoes. No point of article , mumnawar will get lesson of his life, no matter entire judiciary come to rescue this b@$tard
Why do these muslim make joke on Hindu deities and not on their own allah. He has been punished in absolute right way. Now he will think twice before making any joke
Nice job “The Print” On publishing the half story and potrayting it as Munawar had nothing to do with this. Munawar video came out on youTube about 7 months ago with same filthy jokes on Hindu Gods and he was just warned by many people. But he refrained from doing so and continued again on a public forum. He got what he deserved. And we all know, what would have happened if it was other way round. Imagine Munawar as Kamlesh Tiwari.
Dear Print, Nice try to show the human side, joking about Muslims is okay however joking about their God is not you know what happened in France that is the difference and you know it
In a country like India where everyone is free to mock Hindu deities and ideas, the Hindus have begun to realise that this is one way traffic.
Let us be honest to ourselves either we allow freedom of speech and everybody is free to mock all religions / religious ideas, political parties and communities. Law and order / police provide protection to those who are under threat so no one has to meet the same fate as Kamlesh Tiwari. Or nobody should do that and also our constitution does not allow to hurt religious sentiments, which this comedian has done.
Tomorrow if someone will mock Prophet Muhammad or Islam I am 100% sure that the same people will call it islamophobia, then why we can not call what this comedian is doing as Hindu hatred.
Let Hindus aside these people should make jokes on Sikhism, then see how Sikhs would react, let him crack some Jokes on Sikhism in Punjab then everybody will see the outcome.

It’s the end of this country.
Jihadist cannot go on killing sprees of non believers and infidels right now in INDIA.
But they fulfil their desire by abusing HINDU religion.
And with support from ultra left wing journalist project themselves as innocent victims .
However HINDUS must realise that this same mentality results in raping HINDU woman and enslaving HINDU men in pakistan.
Badmouthing the “SECULAR FAITH ” would have resulted in consequences no anti HINDU rioter would like.
HENCE only option is to attack HINDUS.
Really , !!! Nobody has any right to make fun of other religions, if you do , you have to face the consequences, very simple

What has comedy do with hindu gods? If you want to tell jokes choose your own god at least why about other religions?
