Comedian Munawar Faruqui, who was recently released from judicial custody after his arrest on Jan 1 for allegedly hurting religious sentiments by his "indecent" remarks on Hindu Gods, has taken a dig at Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut in his first tweet after bail.
The comedian who spent 35 days in judicial custody took to Twitter to write, "Kangana ke tweets padke lag raha hai Fir se Judicial custody chala jaun."

Fir se Judicial custody chala jaun!
Recently, Ranaut was trolled for comparing herself to Hollywood biggies like Marlon Brando, Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise and Gal Gadot. Yesterday, she threatened to quit Twitter to join Koo app, and most people were happy about it.

Munawar Faruqui walked out a free man on Feb 6 after the Supreme Court declared the FIR against him as "vague" and adding that there was no reason to keep him in the custody.

"The evidence/material collected so far, suggest that in an organized public show under the garb of standup comedy at a public place on commercial lines, prima facie; scurrilous, disparaging utterances, outraging religious feelings of a class of citizens of India with deliberate intendment, were made by the applicant," the court order said.

Congress using hijab issue to pacify minority anger, alleges Karnataka LoP R Ashoka
Bengaluru: Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashoka has accused the Congress government of using the hijab issue to placate what he described as discontent among minority voters after the Davanagere by-election.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Ashoka alleged that the state government, instead of addressing issues such as price rise, corruption, farmers’ distress and law and order, was attempting to retain its minority vote base by reviving the hijab issue.
Referring to the 2022 dress code introduced by the BJP government, which prohibited hijab in schools and colleges, Ashoka said the Karnataka High Court had upheld the policy and emphasised the importance of discipline in educational institutions.
He questioned the Congress government’s move to revisit the issue and asked whether setting aside the court-backed policy to benefit one community could be described as secularism.
Ashoka further alleged that while the government was willing to permit hijab, it continued to prohibit saffron shawls.
He accused the government of dividing students on religious lines rather than treating schools and colleges as spaces of equality.
Drawing a comparison with Mamata Banerjee’s government in West Bengal, Ashoka claimed that excessive appeasement politics had harmed the state and warned that the Congress in Karnataka could face a similar political response.
He said voters in Karnataka would teach the Congress a lesson for what he termed “vote-bank politics” and for compromising constitutional and judicial principles.
