NEW DELHI: A day after Bollywood
actor Salman Khan backed Pakistani
artists, MNS chief Raj Thackeray has
questioned the actor's statement
and threatened to ban his movies
too.
Salman on Friday said that Pakistani
actors come to India with valid
documents and they are artists, not
terrorists. Salman Khan is known for
his vocal statements which always
attracts criticism. In July last year,
Salman Khan had said that Yakub
Memon was innocent but later
apologised after his father Salim
Khan termed his comments as
'ridiculous and meaningless'.
Thackeray also asked why
Bollywood needs Pakistani artists.
"Are we short of artists in our
country? Why do we need Pakistani
artists to work in our films? I don't
understand," said Thackeray.
Thackeray also questioned that if
our jawans will put down their
weapons, who will guard the
borders. "Jawans are fighting for us
at borders. What'll happen if thy
decide to put down their weapons?
Who'll guard borders? Salman
Khan?" said Thackeray.
He slammed artists for backing
Pakistani actors and said, "These
artists should realise 'Nation first'. If
they have so much problem, we will
ban their movies too."
Will Salman Khan guard India's borders, asks Raj Thackeray - The Economic Times
