In the wake of the tragic firing of NCP leader Baba Siddiqui, BJP leader and former Rajya Sabha MP Harnath Singh Yadav advised Salman Khan to apologize to the Bishnoi community for his ‘big mistake’. He expressed that the community still has anger towards the actor and urged them to consider their feelings.
On Twitter, BJP MP Harnath Singh Yadav shared a post in Hindi detailing how the Bishnoi community, who regard the blackbuck as a sacred deity, was deeply offended. “Dear Salman Khan, the Bishnoi community worships the black buck and considers it a deity. You hunted it, cooked it and ate it. This has hurt the sentiments of the Bishnoi community and there is anger against you.
The BJP MP suggested that an apology for the past incident would be a sensible step, which would help in undoing the hurt caused. He wrote, “People make mistakes. You are a big actor, a large number of people in the country love you. My good advice to you is that you should respect the sentiments of Bishnoi community and apologize to them for your big mistake.
Salman Khan is on the radar of Lawrence Bishnoi gang, he is facing many threats to his life. Tension escalated earlier this year when gang members were arrested following a shocking incident where shots were fired outside the actor’s Mumbai residence, raising security concerns.
On October 12, NCP leader Baba Siddiqui was shot dead outside the office of his son, MLA Zeeshan Siddiqui, in Bandra East. He was taken to Lilavati Hospital, but sadly he did not survive. Three suspects belonging to Lawrence Bishnoi gang have been arrested in the murder case. The latest arrest took place in Pune, where Praveen Lonkar confessed to the crime through a Facebook post.
The first two suspects, Gurmail Baljeet Singh (also known as Karnail Singh) and Dharamraj Singh (alias Dharamraj Rajesh Kashyap) were captured soon after the incident. Authorities believe that Praveen played a key role in involving his brother Shubham Lonkar in the conspiracy along with Kashyap and Shivkumar Gautam.
