Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 19 (TIWN) Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has moved Supreme Court against High Court's order cancelling a government job given to the son of late CPI-M MLA K.K. Ramachandran Nair. The High Court earlier this month said that a "legislator is not a government servant" and cancelled the appointment.

"Yes, we have denied him permission. He will not perform any public show today," a senior police officer told PTI on condition of anonymity.  Faruqui also shared a statement on social media confirming that his Bengaluru show that had sold "600 plus" tickets was cancelled Sunday in the wake of the "threats to venue vandalism" and said he was "done".  "My name is Munawar Faruqui. And that's been my time, you guys were (a) wonderful audience. Good bye, I'm done," he said. 

The proceeds from the show were supposed to be donated to late Kannada star Puneeth Rajkumar's charitable organisation.  In the same statement, the 29-year-comic said they initially did not want to reveal that the show was for charity. 

"Putting me in jail for the joke I never did to cancelling my shows which has nothing problematic in it. This is unfair. This show has gained so much love from people in India irrespective of their religion. This is unfair (sic)" he added in his Twitter statement.
