New Delhi, 19 January 2014

In reply to a question asked by Hindi news channel Aaj Tak, bollywood star Salman Khan said the judicial system and CBI have given Narendra Modi a clean chit, then who are we to criticize him?

Salman Khan further said, “Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan, Shri Tata all have praised Modi, but there was no problem. Then why hungama over me praising him? Because I am Muslim?”

“Why would Modi say sorry(for Gujarat riots) if he wasn’t responsible?” Salman replied when asked about his opinion on Modi’s apology over year 2002 riots.

Salman said he doesn’t want his opinion to influence the voters. He said he would like to meet Rahul Gandhi too, but doesn’t want to meet Kejriwal.

Some other quotes from his interview with Headlines Today

“Don’t give a damn if I get sent to jail for 5 years in my cases because I expressed a frank opinion on someone.”

“I will campaign for Narendra Modi if he asks me to and if he does things that help people.”

“Agree with dad when he asks why do people question only Narendra Modi for riots and not Chief Ministers of other states for riots.”

“If my going to Ahmedabad helps break barriers between Hindus and Muslims then why should I not go to Gujarat?”

“Chouhan Shivraj is doing great work in Madhya Pradesh. MP folks are not easily impressed Roads are much better there than earlier.”

“Agitation and governance are two different things. Arvind Kejriwal needs to fulfill promises before we can say he is successful.”

“Will consider joining politics full time in some time. Already doing work politicians should doing through. My political party will be called Being Human Party(BHP). We will do a better job than others. I am already a politician.”
