My Blood Boils .Watching everything going on , unravelling the way it is.It's all complete crap.No one REALLY cares about the common man.If they did none of the crap you see today would happen in the first place.At the heart of all the bullshit is an interview with Salman Khan.As i type this , i am watching the Salman Khan interview with Pakistan's Express News Channel for the 16th time.

https://www.zemtv.net/2010/09/12/salman-khan-interview-exclusively-on-express-news/

Pretty much everyone decided to have a go at him.News Channels , Politicians , immature Internet users ...everyone.I do not know Salman Khan personally , nor i do not know what kind of person he is on a daily basis, but i do not think he did anything wrong here.In fact, if an impressionable mind was watching it would only learn good.Which is what he was promoting.Peace and Love.Between People , Religions and Countries.And at NO POINT in this interview did he say he gave Pakistan a clean chit regarding 26/11.Everyone keeps talking about it on the news, where did it come from ? He didn't say it.What he DID say was terrorists are just terrorists.They have No Religion , country or guts.

There is a point in the video where he says the words " Everybody umm..knew that...that the Government is not behind it,.. they just knew there umm.. there was a terrorist attack"
a.I think he meant the Good Part of the Government.The part we all believe in and vote for.Yes contrary to popular belief there are Good Politicians ( i hope ) AND Bad Politicians.eg.The numerous scams that surface and disappear just as magically.**cough**cough** CWG **Cough **cough ...yea ..We have that here as well.i think it's a universal thing.
b.i really don't think the above said words can be taken for giving Pakistan a clean chit.
c.even if he did think the ENTIRE government was corrupt it wouldn't be a good idea to say it to them on camera.
d.all this crap is just speculation.
Watch the video , i don't think he meant anything by what he said.Don't just hear the words, listen to they way he's saying them..his face.. He was just conversing...Maybe if he used the word "ALLEGEDLY" everywhere no one would have a problem.This whole thing is lame.i should friggin be asleep right now.
What he should have said was People didn't know what was going on , all they knew was it was a terrorist attack.

All he said was that our security failed.Which it did.Miserably.
I say Pakistan the Country... is not a terrorist.There are innocent men women and children that live there.Pakistani Terrorists are terrorists.Some retarded News Reporter probably asked the question " Er Er excuse me sir Salman Khan ne Pakistan ko clean chit diya hai aapko iske baare mein kya kehna hai ? " and that's probably where the clean chit nonsense came from.

Here's another thought.No one sees it because we have been conditioned.Either the Media is retarded or they're evil and out to destroy the world through cleverly worded Headlines / Captions / Supers.HAVE YOU BEEN READING CAREFULLY LATELY ? Although in this case fictitious as the words may be , I have a problem with the words " gave Pakistan a Clean Chit " - Pakistan ? Why do they keep referring to Pakistan as "A" Terrorist.Sad.

To give you another example i retweet Fraizer from Digital @MTVindia

Morons! It should be anti-terrorist RT @Reuters Fears rise over growing anti-Muslim feeling in U.S. https://bit.ly/9LdrWR

Conditioning.Or low quality news reporting.
THERE IS NO ANTI INDIA SENTIMENT in the interview, nor is there anything in there that Salman Khan should apologise for.

1.The "NEWS channels" here in India , all of whom were of course in the throes of orgasm, going oh yea yea , something to make a story out of ! ..yea! yea !... used shots of Salman Khan out of context to sensationalise / mislead a viewer.For example.There's a shot in the Salman Khan Interview where he has his face in his palms 12:03 in the first video.News channels have used that to make it look like he's fried about what he said . Brilliant.I hate it when any media does that.It is wrong to take things out of context especially for News.People doing ( hopefully tasteful ) spoofs having fun is a different thing altogether.But THIS is WRONG.

2.I hope Shobha De watched the whole Salman Khan interview before she commented saying Boycott Dabaang .I seriously doubt our Politicians are watching Express news or YouTube videos of Express News.FTV..Maybe.Express News in Pakistan .No .Then who started this whole thing ? That too now when all Religions are in celebration.Seriously something to think about.And some very irresponsible reporting at a time like this by the News.It makes me really sad.
I'll bet the news channels just went straight to the controversial footage and edited everything out without watching it .. that's right you Mr video editor sitting in the cramped desk editing stuff all day long that the overworked news reporters keeps telling you the edit.

3.Not a SINGLE News Channel asked any of the politicians the questions they should have ..
Er ..excuse me sir ? Do we have Coastal Security yet ? Do we have bullet proof vests and working guns for our all cops yet ? What happened to our Advanced Tactical Force ? No News about that ? Our railways and railway stations are the same as they were before , have you installed some sort of invisible anti terrorist device after the metal detector plan failed ?

It's terrible that Salman Khan has to go through this shit.He did not speak ill of anything or anyone at any point in the interview.The reason that this fries me so much , is not Salman Khan.This is not about Salman Khan.This is about the sad state of affairs with the people that influence masses.The real terrorist here is Ignorance.

I could be wrong.I could be right.But this is how i feel.I am allowed to tell you how i feel.Our founding fathers put it in the Constitution.

Don't believe everything you read , hear or see.If you really want the truth.Google it.

Not all that Salman is saying about 26/11 is wrong

Ok, so I didn't really believe it when a colleague first told me that Salman Khan has been telling a Pakistani TV channel that 26/11 has been overhyped. It seemed too bizarre to be true – and I really didn't think that Salman would need to step into such territory to promote Dabangg, considering it's difficult to get a ticket anywhere in the opening weekend as it is.

So I found the video clip and watched it. And, well, Salman did seem to be saying more or less that. I played the tv interview clip a second time, tried to note stuff verbatim so we don't get it wrong in a story my team was putting together, and then took a look at my jottings of what he was saying, which were something like this:

• Just because this time the Taj, the Oberoi were under attack, so everybody just stood up

• We've had bomb blasts in trains, in small towns, and these things have happened earlier as well, but no one reacted, no one stood up

• Just because this time the elite got targeted, five star hotels and stuff - so, I think, they panicked, I think it was the first time they got up and spoke against it

• My question was - why now? This has been happening for the longest time, we've been speaking on it for the longest time… The people who suddenly woke up were speaking up because they were scared for their own lives and their own loved ones

For a Bombay-based cine star to put his neck out and say stuff like this was, I thought, kind of courageous. But you have to give the guy his due; it takes guts to make a politically incorrect statement of this magnitude. There are people who will argue that the Union Home Minister and the state CM would not have been replaced for a similar number of casualties to terror if they were to happen in the interiors in sporadic instances – it was the TAJ, it was Bombay, that amplified the facts so starkly. It may be insensitive to point it out too often – but even in the 26/11 context, there was no hiding the difference in the prioritization of focus between the hotels and the shooting spree at the CST preceding the hotels' siege. Nobody did follow-up stories on CST, a year after, the way they did for the hotels, did they?

I would perhaps say that 76 uniformed, armed men of the CRPF being wiped out by hundreds of armed Naxals within the heart of India in a few hours is a far greater act of war than ten Jihadis running amok in a luxury hotel, killing defenceless diners – but it got maybe a tenth of the media focus, and I don't know if we as much as shifted the DM / SSP, which we do for every episode of communal stone pelting. And this is hardly the only one, is it? 25 EFR men in February, 76 CRPF men in April, 26 more in June – about 125 killed in massacres in just three specific days. The Mumbai attacks left close to 200 dead over three days or so. I am not putting these numbers for statistical comparison, simply highlighting them because any one man with an AK-47 could gun down 20, 30 defenceless people, one suicide bomber routinely takes 30, 40 lives with his own across the world, but attacking and wiping out large number of uniformed men trained to use weapons implies a much higher level of planned and organized violence against the state. We lost uniformed men in 26/11 too, but they were responding to the attacks, going towards entrenched terrorists waiting for them – unlike the 2010 episodes where uniformed men have been proactively attacked, hunted down and often killed to the last man. We don't know the names of these men, and we don't follow their families year to year, finding out how they feel, do we?

Personally, I thought he'd not said anything that should not be said – at least this far. But when he began to sympathise with the interviewer, told her that Pakistan was as much a victim of terror, remembered that Shoaib Akhtar (no less!) had updated him that Pakistan had 550 bomb explosions last year – and then declared grandly there "everyone knew" that there was no official Pakistani involvement in 26/11, that the whole episode indicated lapses in Indian security arrangements, that a terrorist has no nationality, that was when I thought he'd lost it.

Today's papers all wrote about the report from the Washington based research group, the National Security Preparedness Group, which says that "One of the more predictable foreign policy challenges of the next years is a 'Mumbai II': a large-scale attack on a major Indian city by a Pakistani militant group that kills hundreds," and predicted that another 26/11 could have high probability of leading to an Indo-Pak war. Nobody talks of 'non-state terrorist elements', they all say "Pakistani militant group", Salman bhai. Nobody, but the ISI itself which would have us believe it has no idea of how and why these guys with guns seem to keep popping up from our Wild West. So reality check needed there, Most Misunderstood Guy In Bollywood – sometimes you go out of your way to be misunderstood.

Anyway, in a few hours, the buzz generated such proportions, and after his dad stepped forward to ask Salman to apologise, explaining that he is not "articulate and political", that Salman first tweeted, "every human life has equal value n any act of terror, anywhere in the world is unpardonable. be it 9/11 or 26/11", then followed it with "Next time mein apnne sub interview sub khud bhi record karoonga , kya bolte ho ? Takeh yeh sub controversies nahi ho". But the fact is that he wasn't being panned for any misquote, but for exactly what he HAD said, so I don't think the much-maligned-sensation-hungry media was quite the culprit here. By evening he was perhaps tired of explaining stuff, so he put up an explanation on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmHREC5Sg3Y – the transcript of which goes more or less as:

"I gave an interview about three weeks ago, and now, at this festive time of Eid and Ganesh Utsav, it is being twisted around. I saw it myself and the way it is coming across on TV, it is sounding insensitive, I was just saying that life is equal, garib aadmi ho, amir aadmi ho, it is the same. Some attacks get more media coverage than the others – why is that? I think every human life is as important. Any act of terrorism, anywhere in the world, is unpardonable. A terrorist has no nationality, no religion, no guts. I've always had and I always will have faith in our… umm… intelligence… umm… agencies, I've always had faith in our armed forces, police force. I did not mean to hurt anybody's sentiments and if I have hurt anybody's sentiments, I am really, really sorry."

For what he said about there being no Pakistani involvement in the 26/11 episode, which is commenting on stuff he has no clue about since he does not run the IB or RAW, and frankly it is none of his business, he should be sorry.

But for the point he made about we having a hierarchy of human life – let us not miss the point altogether in our overly nationalistic responses. And above all, let us not – as some bloggers in different forums have been doing – question what he is saying in the context of his faith. He has only said from the heart what many perhaps ponder. Yes, he is not the most politically correct guy, which is why he is the one saying it, not one of the eternally politically correct stars. But don't make him a fall guy for asking a basic question. At the end of the day, it would amount to shooting the messenger – for just being, umm, Dabangg?

where was india government before 26/11 terrorism has been happening before that day millions of people being killed but we never hear about it on television now that this attack was for the elite the government has woken up because it was them that got attacked india goverment as i see don't give shit about the common people. now they are barking like dogs because it got too close to home

They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

Salman is speaking up for the common people & its disgusting to see some of them react like he is against them

I don't know what's going on here. It seems like everyone is writing an article....lol

Anyways, Terrorist doesn't have a religion. They just need a reason to be violent. Proud of sallu for speaking up. How many Muslims is going to take to say the same thing for everyone to start believing in it. I remember Saif and SRK said the same thing, terror doesn't have religion which is true

Raj Thackeray defends Salman Khan

Last Updated: 2010-09-12 23:53:43

Mumbai: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Chief Con Sunday defended actor Salman Khan, who came under fire for claiming that the 26/11 attacks were hyped because the "elite" were targeted.

"I think his (Salman) statement was twisted by media. In fact, in the same interview, Salman has questioned Pakistan about the 26/11 terror attacks but media is silent on that," Raj said.

Salman Khan apologises for 26/11 comment

The MNS chief also raised doubt over the controversy being created in the backdrop of Eid and Ganesh festivals though the interview was given three weeks back.

Earlier, Salman Khan had indicated that his comments were misinterpreted and tweeted that he plans to record all his media interviews in the future.

"It was the elite that was targeted this time. Five star hotels and all. So they panicked. Then they got up and spoke about it. My question is why not before. Attacks have happened in trains and small towns too, but no one talked about it so much," the 44-year-old actor had reportedly said during the interview to a Pakistani channel.

this is not the first time. every time his film releases & takes a good opening, the very next day there is a controversy in the news. Why have they shown the interview now when it happened 3 weeks ago??!!! It's a shame that some journalists who call themselves "learned & educated" exploit the freedom of press to increase their TRPs by creating a controversy where there is none! Specially this shobbha de lady - she gives it really good but when it comes to receiving crticism she snarls like a B****!

poor salman, targeted for no reason, people don't get his point, he just wanted to say that bomb blasts have happenend in train, last yr in pune's german bakery, in delhi's cannaut places, but no one took a notice, why?

coz it was normal people and this time it was "taj and oberoi" hotel where most possibly the rich and elite people go and this time people are speaking against it and standing up raising their voice against those terror attacks

I m happy that Salman had guts to speak this thing and he is correct acc to me
