Indian-origin stand-up comedian and Netflix's Patriot Act host Hasan Minhaj was recently denied entry to the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, US, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Howdy Modi event was held on Sunday.

A video of the comedian outside the stadium is going viral online and in it, one can see Hasan trying to get his crew inside the venue.

The video was posted on Twitter by The Sparrow Project and it is a combination of screen recording of Instagram story clips posted by Adam Matthew Weiss, who was present at the Texas event.

The video was shared on Twitter with the caption, "An Islamophobic attack on press in 3 acts: Muslim journalist and @patriotact host @hasanminhaj was denied access at Tump/Modi event. Event producers cite lack of credentials (despite credentials set for him), cite lack of space for broadcast (press pool & camera risers 1/2 empty)."

The multiple clips show Hasan talking to an event manager about getting entry into the stadium.

It begins with Hasan saying on phone, "We are just trying to get our credentials." To which, the authority on the phone replies, "Yeah, but I don’t have any credentials to get you." After which, Hasan can be seen pointing to the credentials set for him on the table saying, "There’s credentials right here."

To which the person replies, "I know, but I am telling you that outside of one journalist, there’s no one else coming. But there is no other credential that I can give you."

In the next clip, Hasan can be heard confronting the person, "You told me 'You were denied because of the jokes'." To which the man replies, "I didn’t say you were denied because of the jokes." Hasan can be heard replying to that saying, "Some people were not happy."

This was in reference to an episode, aired on March 17, on Patriot Act, called "Indian Elections", in which Hasan took a dig at PM Narendra Modi. He was later massively trolled on social media for the episode.

In the video clip, the man then responds saying he cannot provide Hasan a space. The video is then followed by clips of empty seats earmarked for the press.

On Sunday, Hasan Minhaj had also posted a picture of himself outside the stadium saying, "Here to celebrate two great nations coming together to hug and tug. India first. But America first too. #HowdyModi."

After the video of Hasan being denied entry was posted online, a lot of people replied to the post. Journalist Maria Kari also took to Twitter to share that she was also denied entry.

She tweeted, "Looks like I’m not the only Muslim journalist who was blocked from attending the #HowdyModi event today. Damn."
