New York: Indian-origin stand-up comedian Hasan Minhaj was allegedly barred from entering Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Howdy Modi’ rally in Houston on Sunday, September 22.

Event producers cited lack of credentials and space for a broadcast crew at the venue for Minhaj’s entry denial, reported Dawn.com.

Minhaj had even tweeted a photograph of himself posing in front of the rally’s venue.

“Here to celebrate two great nations coming together. India first. But America first too,” he had captioned the image.
