Bhopal: The Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led Madhya Pradesh cabinet was expanded on Sunday with the induction of two loyalists of BJP leader Jyotiraditya Scindia, whose exit from the Congress in March last year triggered the fall of the 15-month-old Kamal Nath-led dispensation in the state.

The Madhya Pradesh Police arrested and booked comedian Munawar Faruqui for allegedly hurting religious sentiments by making derogatory comments about Hindu deities, NDTV reported on Saturday.
The first information report was filed on the complaint of Eklavya Singh Gaur, the chief of Hindutva group Hind Rakshak Sangathan, according to reports. Gaur is the son of Bharatiya Janata Party legislator Malini Gaur.
Police said the charges against Faruqui, a Mumbai-based comedian, were imposed after his performance at the Monroe Cafe in Indore. “During the show, the comedian allegedly mocked Hindu gods and goddesses,” a police official said.

His comments come amid a drive by the government to demolish illegal structures in the state. Warning those indulging in land irregularities to leave the state, Chouhan said while addressing the crowd: “Aaj-kal apan khatarnaak mood mein hai. Gadbad karne walo ko chhodenge nahi mama. Ek taraf mafia ke khilaaf abhiyaan chal raha hai. Muscle power, rasook kaa istemaal karke, kahi avaid kabza, kahi drug mafia; Sunlo re. Madhya Pradesh chhod dena nahi toh zameen mein gaad dunga 10 feet neeche, pata nahi chalega kahi bhi. (These days I am in a dangerous mood.Those who create trouble will not be let off easily. There is a drive being carried out against this mafia. Those who use muscle power, clout to encroach land and drug mafia should leave Madhya Pradesh or I’ll bury them 10 feet in the ground and no one will know.)”
