Sir, what about Santa Banta jokes? Comedians react to anger over 'filthy' AIB roast

Following an FIR and after facing a government probe for allegedly using ‘vulgar’ language during their show AIB Roast in Mumbai, comedy group All India Bakchod was forced to pull out the series of videos from YouTube. This has predictably sparked a massive debate on the threats to freedom of expression challenging artists in India. [caption id=“attachment_2077033” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Courtesy: Facebook ](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/AIB.jpg) Courtesy: Facebook[/caption] The AIB Knockout, a roast featuring actors Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar and organised by AIB in December 2014 in Mumbai went viral after the group released three videos on YouTube. Political parties in Maharashtra also threatened to stop the films of Karan Johar, Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor and said that the government should file FIR against them too. So, what’s the future of stand up comedy after this AIB fiasco? Here’s what comedians have to say: Joke on politics? No. Joke on Bollywood? No. Oh..dear!

Sir, what about Santa Banta jokes?
