Salman Khan and controversies go hand in hand, don’t you agree? Couple of months back, the actor had received a lot of criticism from people for his ‘Raped woman’ comment and now, once again he is in a big trouble for supporting Pakistani actors.
We are already aware that Uri attacks have had a negative impact on the Film Industry, both in India as well as Pakistan. MNS had issued a strict warning to Pakistani actors to leave India within 48 hours, to avoid being thrown out. Following this, IMPPA took prompt action and imposed a temporary ban on Pakistani artists and actors.
While everyone found this decision quite favorable, Salman Khan had a different take on this. At a Q & A session, a reporter asked Salman Khan about his opinion on this ban, on which he replied
“They were artists, not terrorists, these are two different subjects. What you think? That artists are terrorists? They come with valid visa, who provides them with visa? our Government, our govt provides them work permit.”
Further, talking about an ideal solution on these Uri attacks, Salman said;
“The ideal situation would be that peace be maintained. Now that this has happened, there will be action and reaction. In this day and age we should live in happiness, peace and love it would have been better for everyone especially for the common man.”
Obviously, these statements didn’t go down well with majority of people, especially Ashoke Pandit, a renowned filmmaker, who slammed Salman in a series of tweets…
Remaining silent is also terrorism!
