BJP minister questions if attack on Saif Ali Khan was real, calls actor ‘garbage’

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minister Nitesh Rane questioned if the recent knife attack on Bollywood’s Saif Ali Khan was real or if Khan was acting, and called the actor “garbage”, Indian media reported

Khan, 54, was stabbed six times at his Mumbai residence during an alleged attempted burglary and was subsequently hospitalised. Days later, he was discharged, returned home and was extensively photographed by paparazzi as he walked from his car to his house.

Rane, addressing a public gathering in Pune, questioned the legitimacy of the attack, ANI reported. “Look at what Bangladeshis are doing in Mumbai, they entered Saif Ali Khan’s house. Earlier, they used to stand at road crossings, now they have started entering homes. Maybe they came to take Saif away. It is good, garbage should be taken away.”

The politician, who serves as the minister for port development in Maharashtra, said he saw when Khan was discharged and doubted whether he was actually stabbed. “He was dancing while walking.”

He criticised the Nationalist Congress Party’s Supriya Sule and Jitendra Awhad for only worrying about the Khans and not Hindu artists.

“Whenever any Khan like Shah Rukh Khan or Saif Ali Khan gets hurt, everyone starts talking about it. When a Hindu actor like Sushant Singh Rajput is tortured, no one comes forward to say anything,” the publication quoted Rane.

Earlier, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam questioned the nature of the attack and asked Khan’s family to disclose the details of the attack.

“The way Saif came [out of the hospital] it seems as if nothing happened four days ago. I want to ask the doctors, can a person whose operation lasted six hours come out in such good shape within four days,” Nirupam said, according to ANI.

The great Dilip Kumar(Yusuf Khan) was harassed only because he was Muslim. And now Saif Ali Khan for no reason at all is being called "garbage". Muslim Actors should seriously consider of moving out of Hindustan(India).

As long as BJP is in power, India-Pakistan relationship will never be improved and that’s no good for both nation in future. It’s all depends on Indian people in next general elections in India, Who to vote BJP or Congress in next elections…?

All khans should be careful now, they are after the muslims.

@Ghalibjeee Is it really fair to take to taske an entire people of over one billion for the statements on single individuals? Remember then you open the door to foreigners making similar generalization about us Pakistanis.

@JAMIL SOOMRO - All these Indian Muslim actors have so much money that they can buy the citizenship of any western country and move there permanently but why don't they do that? Because they are Indian, love India and know they are safe. You should worry about your own citizens who are dying in boat tragedies in their desperate attempt to leave your country.

This Rane and his father are corrupted politicians. They normally jump from one ship to other to survive. Look at his speech, it clearly tells how uneducated he is. These people are ministers in the government. So shameful.
