Boycott Salman Khan for praising Narendra Modi: Clerics issue appeal



A section of Muslim clerics have appealed the community to boycott actor Salman Khan's movies for praising Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi. 

The clerics have also appealed people to boycott the products which were endorsed by the actor. 

While speaking to the Times of India, Maulana Ejaz Kashmiri, a member of the All India Ulema Council and an imam at a mosque in Bhendi Bazaar said, "Salman's statement that there is no need for Modi to say sorry for the 2002 riots is provocative and deplorable. It has hurt the sentiments of Muslims and the community should boycott the actor's present and future films and the products he endorses unless he apologises." 

The actor has been at the receiving end from the clerics after he was seen flying kites with the Gujarat CM during a promotional programme for his latest film 'Jai Ho' in Gujarat. 

While praising Modi as a 'great man' Salman had said there was no need for the CM to apologise for the 2002 riots as the judiciary had given him a clean chit. 

Earlier Salman also drew angry reactions from the same community for his performance at the Samajwadi Party's extravagant Saifai Festival at a time when Muzaffarnagar riots victims were still struggling the chilling cold in relief camps.
