Jeremy McLellan is the American comedian that everyone in Pakistan loves. He is an honorary Pindi boy owing to his love for Pakistan and his very sharp wit. Now, he says he might even have been banned from India because of his wit.
Jeremy McLellan’s love for Pakistan is no secret
He even went as far as trolling Modi over his victory in the Indian elections, just a few days ago
Because of Modi’s victory in the elections I have decided to cancel my upcoming 5-week tour in India. I apologize to everyone who bought tickets to my shows but I can’t support this. Will have to go to Pakistan instead.

Obviously Jeremy was trolled by nationalists from India who took offence at the comedian’s choice of words

Jeremy, however, was in no mood to stop
Throwing zingers one after the other despite getting massively trolled.
“go to failed state” I already told you I’m not going to India so stop begging

Modi called me last night to beg me not to cancel my Indian tour, offered me millions of dollars to change my mind, but I couldn’t do it. Not everything is about money. Maybe after the next election I will reconsider. https://t.co/wKDjti30ph

He even pointed out how the BJP’s social media wing seems to have diverted their attentions to trolling him because of his comments about Modi
Election is over so the BJP IT cells have a lot of free time. Keep going lads.

Well, Jeremy just shared an update that he might have been banned from India over his remarks
Jeremy was apparently planning a comedy tour to India but after his jokes directed at Modi he said he was banned by India from doing his comedy tour.
India has now banned me from doing a tour there but I’m going to do it anyway. Just need to wait for a cloudy day so I can get past their radar.

People are shocked that his jokes are being taken so seriously by Indians
Of course. It’s not like I’m a comedian or anything.

Well Jeremy, you know we in Pakistan love you regardless and would be more than happy to have you back here for another comedy tour. So what if our neighbors didn’t want you, we like it as long as the jokes aren’t at our expense or exposing any of our own hypocrisies lol. You’re welcome here, always!
