The dispute between Bollywood star Salman Khan and the Bishnoi community has been going on since 1998, when Salman’s film “Hum Saath Saath Hain” was being filmed. During this time, he and his co-stars had allegedly hunted a black deer, which the Bishnoi community considers sacred. This reason goes to the root of the problem.
Recently, this issue has become very hot after the murder of politician and Salman’s friend Baba Siddiqui in Mumbai on October 12. The responsibility for his murder was assumed by Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang. Earlier, Salman’s father Salim Khan was threatened by a stranger during his morning walk after Baba’s death. Salman also received a threatening message from a stranger to the Mumbai traffic police, demanding Rs 5 million to avoid being killed by the Bishnoi gang like Baba Siddiqui. Recently, Ramesh Bishnoi, cousin of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, revealed that Salman tried to resolve the dispute by handing over a blank check, which was rejected by the community. The ongoing controversy has divided public opinion, with some urging Salman to apologize and resolve the controversy, while others believe the actor has done nothing wrong. Let’s analyze the events surrounding the case.
Salim Khan said his son did not kill the black deer
While many demanded that Salman apologize to the Bishnoi community to end the controversy, his father Salim Khan clarified that his son had not killed any blackbuck and hence there was no need to apologize. In an interview with ABP News, he said: “Apologizing is accepting that I have killed. Salman never killed any animal. We didn’t even kill any cockroaches. We don’t believe in these things at all.
