Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana today claimed in its editorial that terror suspect held by Gujarat police in Ahmedabad recently has disclosed that Shahrukh Khan’s film My Name Is Khan was used as terror propaganda. The editorial article in Saamana asked Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chauhan and Gujarat Cheif Minister Narendra Modi that while they booked Hindus for protesting the film My Name is Khan and behaved like body guards of Shahrukh’s film, what they intend to do with those who are in business of provoke the Muslims by making such films.

It should be mentioned here that the Indian Express on March 19 revealed that terror agent Bashir Ahmed Baba, suspected to have been scouting in Gujarat for impressionable recruits for terror training in HM facilities in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir had been asked by his Hizbul Mujajhiddin handler in Pakistan occupied Kashmir , Bilal Shera, to use the movie My Name is Khan as an indoctrination tool. The 32-year-old Bashir, known in his home state Kashmir as the Pepsi Bomber (for his alleged expertise in turning empty cans of soft drinks into explosive devices), was specifically told to use Shahrukh Khan’s movie on dubious subject to propagate the idea that Muslim youth across the world were perennially facing humiliation and derision, and they need to come together for jihad. Baba was nabbed on March 13 from Anand, in Gujarat while using the alleged cover of a medical camp trainer as he went about getting a network together to recruit young men for the HM. The Anti Terrorist Squad recovered from Bashir a ticket for the Shah Rukh Khan movie at the Fun Republic Theatre in Ahmedabad and grilled him on it.
