On Monday, Mr Singh, a former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, tweeted: "I will organise a show for Kunal and Munawar in Bhopal. All responsibility will be mine"
Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra has hit back at Congress leader Digvijaya Singh over his invitation to stand-up comics Kunal Kamra and Munawar Faruqui - who have faced cancellation of shows across the country after pressure from the ruling BJP and right-wing groups.
Mishra - who, over the past months has warned of bans and police cases against a growing list of "objectionable" audio-visual and literary content - issued his latest threat Tuesday, telling Mr Kamra and Mr Faruqui they will be jailed if they performed a show "insulting Hindu gods and goddesses".
"If someone holds a show insulting Hindu gods and goddesses, then his place would be only jail. Under no circumstances will anyone be allowed to insult anybody's religious feelings," Mishra said.
"If Digvijaya Singh ji wants to hold a comedy show, why doesn't he call Rahul Gandhi?" he asked.
