Bandra Muslims defend SRK from Sena diatribe | The Bandra Muslim Association, an Islamic forum in Mumbai has come out in Shahrukh Khan's support after he drew flak from the Shiv Sena for his comment on the non-inclusion of
Pakistani players in the IPL. Addressing media persons here on Thursday, Farooq
Gosahi, the President of the Bandra Muslim Association, said the forum was founded
to protect the security and safety of members of their community, and as such
it would prevent any attack on Shahrukh Khan. " Shahrukh belong to the Bandra
area and he is being targeted because he is a Muslim actor. We have been noticing
the statements made by Sena leaders in the last few days and we won't allow this
to continue." "The government should take stern action and arrest Uddhav
Thackeray,
or we will come out on the streets. We will guard the home of the actor and, if
Sena protestors come to their residence, our youth will protest. We will answer
the Sena people using their own methods, he added. Khan, one of the owners of
the Kolkata Knight Riders cricket team had said Pakistani players ought to have
been considered in the preliminary auction of the players by the franchising teams.
This invited the latest Shiv Sena's wrath, and its activists attacked cinema halls
screening Khan's latest movie 'My Name is Khan'. |
