Hyderabad-based comedian Sarat Uday's stand-up show in Bengaluru's Koramangala was disrupted by alleged TDP protesters on Saturday over jokes about Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu from nearly two years ago. Despite having apologized previously, he was forced to apologize again on stage. The group threatened violence, questioned his remarks about a 2003 Naxal assassination attempt on Naidu, and tried to compel him to raise TDP slogans. They left before police arrived. TDP state president Palla Srinivasa Rao condemned the protest but warned comedians against crossing limits of free speech. This is the third such incident involving comedians facing protests in Andhra Pradesh.
