Muslims stage protest against Salman Khan’s objectionable comment in Mumbai
Sponsored Links/AdvertisementReacting to the detention of Shahrukh Khan at Newark International Airport in USA, Salman Khan on Saturday said: “Just because of few Muslims, billions of the community members face problems, which is not right,” after playing a celebrity football match in Mumbai on Saturday.
The reaction didn’t go down well with a section of community, as they reached Shahrukh’s house as to show solidarity with him and to express anger against Salman’s comment.
Protesters raised slogans against Salman and were planning a protest march from Shahrukh’s house to Salman’s house. But, the police didn’t allow it and detained a few protestors.
Meanwhile, Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra termed Shahrukh’s detention at US airport as ‘unfortunate’.
“It is something I feel terrible about. When such things happen racism and hatred increases. Even President Kalam (former President A P J Abdul Kalam) was frisked. I am not saying that you should not frisk-do your job or check. But without any reason detaining a person for two hours-Shahrukh Khan is Shahrukh Khan,” said Priyanka Chopra.
“He is probably the one of the greatest most famous known Indian celebrity ever in this generation. For any person I think it is unfortunate, It is shocking and very disgraceful if he detained for two hours just because of his name or without a reason,” she added.
