If Salman Khan loves Pakistani actors, he should migrate there: Shiv Sena

Salman Khan backed Pakistani actors, saying artistes should not be equated with terrorists.

Mumbai

: Shiv Sena leader Manisha Kayande has said Bollywood actor Salman Khan needs to be taught a lesson for backing Pakistani actors.

-"I think he needs to be taught a lesson. When several jawans are losing their lives all these years, even when there has been war-like situation between Pakistan and India, this statement coming from him is highly objectionable,-" Kayande said.

-"This is a very insensitive statement that he has made. If he has so much love for Pakistan and Pakistani artistes, I think he should go and perform there or rather migrate to Pakistan. I think that is the way he will learn a lesson one day,-" she added.

On Friday, Salman was asked for his opinion on the boycott of Pakistani artistes in India and Khan replied that artistes should not be equated with terrorists.

-"The ideal situation would have been peace [between the two countries]-" but since there has been an attack on India, there would be some reaction,-" he added

He pointed out that there is a difference between artistes who have gained appropriate visas and permission from the government to work in India, and terrorists who perpetrated the Uri attacks that left 19 Army soldiers.
