There were 3 or 4 more comedians with him who were arrested. One of them is working as daily labour worker now.. Since they are not Muslim non of their interview will be taken. They will not be portrayed as victim. That's how victim narrative is managed by Indian English media😉.

[@Anjali-ek9ur]

One muslim one Christian and 3 Hindus other than him were arrested. Since he is famous interviewing him will gather more eye balls. I think it's not there fault. People who are opposing him made him more famous. (You know negative marketing) But who cares his Fans are increasing.😅And also out of them only he's the only one who is getting criticism and abuse still after almost a year of arrest. And by the way that one them was working as a daily labour for merely for 1-2 months . Now he has continued his comedy.

@@Anjali-ek9ur Lmao. Tribe trecherous pajeeta trying hard to defend indefensible. 1) Literally no one knew his name before his video went viral where he ridiculed mαssacre of 58 Hindu pilgrims in Godhara once that went viral he sensed that creating controversy will get more eye balls that is why he started abusing Hindu Gods which went viral again and mas0chistic people like y0u defend him even after this. Goes on to show how your parents failed in basic task of raising a right person. Shame on them and you. 2) The reason why other were not brought for interview or were not covered in news is that they were not M.u.s.l.i.m.s. and bcx of this Indian English can not perpetrate its narrative of M.u.s.l.i.m victimhood. 3) No, his fans are not increasing. Only two type of people.would ever watch or defend him A) His coreligionists for common extremism. B) People like y0u for your masochism and self degradation kink.

Tbh, He became more famous after he was attacked, controversy makes a person big, If the right wing attacks you, the left-liberals would support you, not to mention he's a muslim, So yup, support hi support hoga

Make jokes on every religion starting with your own , then most people won't be offended.

Nope. We want Prophet and Allah jokes.

he never made fun of Prophet Muhammad..watch again but he did made fun of Sita

[@archeearjun1266]

He went on to say that Islam followers know how to make a bomb. If that isn't making jokes on his religion, then I don't know what is. Most people like you spend hours everyday bringing people down on followers of Islam and also those who disagree with you. Get a life guys.

[@hkpandey1]

Can he refute the fact that cracked jokes on Shri Ram and Mata Sita by making them subjects of the comedy and using abusive words about them... Now even if I accept (which I most certainly don't!!) that it was only a joke on a song (piya ghar aaya) and not on Hindu religious figures, can he prove this by also sharing instances where he made similar comical and abusive references to the Islamic God, Islamic prophet and members of Islamic prophet's family while making jokes about other funny situations? That would conclusively prove that he is an equal opportunity offender (for lack of a better term) Not that this would condone what he did by insulting Hindu religious figures...but at least people would accept his protestation that he is not a bigoted anti-hindu radical... Else he should not pretend to be all innocent and play the victim card... People in general are far more perceptive than he gives them credit for...
