Salman Khan jailed because he's a minority: Khawaja Asif

[Paranoid Android]

ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif on Thursday slammed the five-year jail term given to Bollywood actor Salman Khan as ‘discriminatory’.

"Salman Khan has been sentenced because he's a minority," the foreign minister said while speaking to Hamid Mir, anchor of Geo News programme Capital Talk.

To sentence him in a case that is twenty years old goes on to show that lives of those who are Muslims, 'untouchables' or Christians are not valued in India, he added.

Asif added, "May be if he belonged to the religion of the ruling party of India he would not have been given such a harsh sentence and the court might have been lenient with him."

Earlier today, the Bollywood superstar was sentenced to five years prison by a court in Jodhpur for killing endangered wildlife nearly two decades ago while working on the film Hum Saath Saath Hain.

Salman, one of India's most recognisable and bankable actors, was taken into police custody and driven to jail after the sentencing amid chaotic scenes outside court.

But the actor, who denied poaching the rare black bucks in 1998, can still appeal his conviction.


Salman Khan arrested after five-year jail sentence in blackbuck poaching case


"The court has given a five-year jail term and fined Salman Khan INR10,000 rupees," prosecution lawyer Mahipal Bishnoi told reporters outside the court.

Four other Bollywood stars Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam Kothari who were also accused of joining the hunting trip but were acquitted for lack of evidence.

According to AFP, Salman, whose legion of fans emulate his distinct hairstyle and fashion, has accused Rajasthan´s forest department of framing him over the black buck case. His defence lawyers had suggested the black bucks died of natural causes such as overeating, and claimed there was no evidence they had been shot.

The black buck is an endangered species and is protected under the Indian Wildlife Act.

[Maarkhoor]

India is funny country, Salman got clean chit for killing human beings on road while got punishment for killing a deer.

khwaja is chu-tiya sunjay dutt went jail he is from hindu majority

Sanjay got jail because of his mother was Muslim and his friendship with Muslims.

I think the real issue is Mulims guys were mingling with Hindu girls
Sunali Bendre was a quite a attractive lady in her time

Chasing girls have always caused a problem for Salman Khan and it rubs the Hindu Extremist in bad way


Let me put the finger on real issue

Alot of Hindu Extremist some what hate Salman Khan and other Movie actors
and this chasing after Salman Khan and to show him as a Criminal has been going on for far too long

Seems like some inter religious problem , so depending on who is judge you will be accused

But Salman Khan I think is also a British Nationality holder

This weired sentencing is similar to Sanjay Dutt's case whose mother I think was muslim
post the 90's Hindu/Muslim riots he was nabbed becasue of some false flag bomb in India
Accused of having a mere unlicenced weapon for self defence sentenced like 20-30 years
Just prior to it think there were these Muslim-Hindu riots so understandable by a sane man would try to own weapon for self protection.

Review News and Papers for Riots prior to this Incident of Sunjay Dutt
The Indians never went after the Hindu rioters as they were mostly political figures but instead went after Muslims or few business men which caused them to flee India. In end the focus was shifted from Riots by Hindus and istead to focus on this crack down on Muslims
The story of Sunjay Dutt was one such example
"Why did he attained a gun for self defence" obviously if you are muslim blood you need to protect yourself

It's funny all of the media has claimed Salman Khan has had a controversial history?
a) Never been divorced
b) Mostly working in movies
c) Held parties as a Celeberty quite normal
d) Strong social work or Public facing role
e) Accused of great crime when his car was in "accident" , so it hit homeless who were sleeping on road (again 100% Government falt for people sleeping at road) unintentional
Found Not guilty
f) UK born does not mean you are a hooligan


However it is still claimed he has a controversial history, if you are in a accident then you have controversial history

In India Homless sleep every where on road if you miss a simple traffic light you hit someone

Sanjay got jail because of his mother was Muslim and his friendship with Muslims.

That's some retarded sh*t I've heard in a while.

 

[pak-marine]

what an idiot this khuwaja asif is .. pakistani minorities are systematically screwed "with states approval " and here he wants to score a .0005 for salman khan's sentence

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

50% Muslim and 100% Muslim both in prison

Man on right officially recognized as one of the instigators of riots in India which killed people and demoished a mosque (Prime Minister)

The one on left .... movie actor with no prior history apart from 1 road accident which he was let go 5 years in prison for killing a deer (alligations)

 

[Jaanbaz]

Khawaja Asif is an idiot.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

What he said is 100% if he said anything , it is only becasue it is true

 

[jamahir]

e) Accused of great crime when his car was in "accident" , so it hit homeless who were sleeping on road (again 100% Government falt for people sleeping at road) unintentional

That's what I too think. It is the government's fault that people sleep on foot-paths. The government's role should have been to ensure that every person has a home - the political-economic system being of a welfare state.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

If the homless were supported so they would sleep in home , Salman Khan's car would have just hit a footpath

$100 fine , not a 20 year court case

 

[Suriya]

I think the real issue is Mulims guys were mingling with Hindu girls
Sunali Bendre was a quite a attractive lady in her time

Chasing girls have always caused a problem for Salman Khan and it rubs the Hindu Extremist in bad way

Salman Khan never dated Sunali Bendre

 

[Vapnope]

Salman Khan never dated Sunali Bendre

He should be sentenced two more years in Jail. This crime in beyond understanding.
