Salman a man without brains?

Date:

Mumbai: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Chief Raj Thackeray on Tuesday blasted over his longtime friend and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and called him a man without brains. Such comments came after Khan tweeted in favour of 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub Memon ahead of his execution on July 30.

“Salman is a man without brains, while his father is a respectable man. He does not read newspapers and does not know the law and thus went on tweeting in his (Yakub’s) favour. Then there are people who sent letters to the President seeking mercy for the traitor. How can anybody question a Supreme Court order?” he asked.

Justifying his visit to the actor’s residence after he was pronounced guilty in the hit-and-run case, Raj said he has very old family ties with his father Salim Khan and thus went there to be with him at the time of crisis.

The MNS president also trained his guns at Gujaratis living in Mumbai, saying they have gone “out of control” ever since Narendra Modi, who hails from the state, became Prime Minister. He took a dig at Gujaratis over their predominantly vegetarian food habit, seeking to know how they can discriminate among people on the basis of what they eat?

Taking a jibe at Modi, Raj said the Prime Minister does not speak on anything, he just makes declarations. “His ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme has turned into ‘Moun Ki Baat’.”

Raj hailed Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s initiative to bring new industries in the state but insisted that Marathi youths be given employment in these units.
