Shahrukh Khan
In democratic and secular India a muslim does not even have the freedom to express his opinion in mere words! Even a man like Shahrukh Khan who has a muslim name only and has married a hindu lady and his way of life does not have a slight resemblance to a muslim. He has brought so much fame, wealth and goodwill to his country, India. He has been a true ambassador and a role model for Indians but ….when and if he says something which no matter how just but has a slight a inclination towards Pakistan….his sincerety is questioned!!!
I was shocked to read what Bal Thakarey has to say about Shahrukh after Shahrukh’s comments about not including Pakistani players in IPL. It shows how much hatred and negativity this extremist hindu party has. I remember they expelled Jaswant Singh on writing about Mohammad Ali Jinnah. But read below and have a laugh…. (in todays sensible and educated times…)
Shahrukh Deserves Nishaan-e-Pakistan: Bal Thacheray
“Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Saturday said Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan deserves Pakistan’s highest civilian award, the Nishaan-E-Pakistan, for supporting the inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in the IPL.
In a scathing editorial in Saturday’s party mouthpiece Saamna, Thackeray said that the “Khan” inside Shah Rukh Khan must be crushed by the “Har Har Mahadev” war cry of the “Shivaji” inside the Hindus.
This was an oblique reference to Chhatrapati Shivaji’s killing of Bijapur general Afzal Khan, sent by Sultan Adil Shah II of Bijapur in 1659, at Pratapgad in Satara district of western Maharashtra.
The Shiv Sena hit out at Shah Rukh Khan, also the Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner, after he said he would have picked a Pakistani player for the Indian Premier League matches if his team had a slot.
IPL franchise owners did not bid for Pakistani players during the auction for the IPL III, which has snowballed into a major spat between the two countries.
The editorial said that if “Shah Rukh wants to give a red carpet treatment to Pakistani cricketers on the blood of innocent Indians slain by Pakistani terrorists from Kashmir to Mumbai”, then, Thackeray warned, the Shiv Sena will never permit it.
It pointed out that by supporting the cause of Pakistani players, Shah Rukh has insulted the memory of the victims of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks – for which Pakistan may confer the Nishaan-E-Pakistan – but Indians will spit on him.
The editorial further noted that nobody from the Congress has raised a voice against Shah Rukh since he is considered close to Sonia Gandhi.
Thackeray wrote in his article that “since SRK has so much love for the Pakistanis the Bollywood actor could appoint 26/11 terror accused Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab as the captain of his Kolkata Knight Riders team and Mohammed Afzal Guru (facing death penalty for the 2001 attack on parliament) as the vice captain in the forthcoming IPL match”
people like you are no different from shiv sena hooligans.
shiv sena of the india has not opposed shahrukh for his religion, but for his support to pakistani players.shiv sena is fanatic, but so are you in spewing poison by spreading communalism and hatred.
read the newspaper well before you think of blogging next time…..
^ To Murtaza, maybe you didn’t notice but most of the this entry was a excerpt from Shiv Sina’s own spokesmen. You’re attacking the messenger rather then dealing with the message. The media only talks about Muslim extremists as though no other extremist exists in the world, this article proves that wrong.
You said: “In democratic and secular India a muslim does not even have the freedom to express his opinion in mere words!”
1. This is a Straw-Man fallacy of logic. You have taken one incident and generalised it to the entire country, and added “democratic and secular ” as though it’s a means of discrediting the two.
2. In this very same country, even a Hindu can say something that may piss off the Shiv Sena. Those people have held the city to ransom even for comments made by people who belive in the Hindutva philosophy too. The Shiv Sena are rabid and don’t care about what anyone thinks, be it Hindu, Muslim or otherwise.
So your rhetorical statement lacks merit.
Sharukh is a actor who will do anything for money…I mean aannnyything……So I am not surprised if he is doing a show on this date for a pakistani channel in London…..In UK they salute the memories of terrorist attacks and build memorials for them…Shahrukh was insensitive to the Indians in India as well as British Indians….Shivsena might be playing politics with this gesture..But their opinion on this fact holds ground..India is not about..Hindus, Muslims , Sikhs and Christians..India is about a lifestyle we maintain by respecting all religions and all faiths and all cultures..Shahrukh should have respected it as well..
ajmal u should freely tell everyone that u r a pakistani not and indian don’t support those people who r supporting pakistan otherwise u will be kicked out of india.hate pakistan and pakistanis.ur a an indian not pakistani.so be an indian not a pakistani.u bastad

why should india only gave sacrifices.is it rite that our country is welcoming those people from pakistan who take away our famous person at that time when the pakistan is in controversies with the 26/11 incident.the pakistanis should be kicked on their ass.instead of so many evidences put forward by indian govt.pakistan’s always deaf the words and our country always try to blow horns in deaf ears instead of taking actions.these bastards r not to be forgiven.these are the bed bugs always sucks blood.at last:”are ab toh jaago in dhokebaajon ko pehchano”
Yes i support shiv sena for such comments because there should not be any person in our country who should prefer and favour pakistan as we are the father of pakistan.he is our son a very digusting and a very ridiculous.
ajmal u freely tell everyone that u r a pakistani not indian as u r supporting those people who r supporting pakistan so why ur family members don’t ruin away from india during partition if u were to support pakistani supporter.shiv sena is right.pakistan is a mosquito.u should try efforts tobe an indian not a pakistani.okkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
