Despite the amount of criticism coming SRK's
way from various political outfits, the actor's
statement on 'intolerance' is getting support
from parties like Shiv Sena, which said that
the superstar should not be targeted only
because he is a Muslim and that the minority
community in India is "tolerant". "This country
is tolerant and the Muslims are tolerant as
well. Shah Rukh Khan should not be targeted
only because he is a Muslim," Shiv Sena MP
Sanjay Raut said. BJP leader Kailash
Vijayvargiya had recently triggered a
controversy when he tweeted that SRK's "soul"
is in Pakistan though he lives in India. His
remarks came a day after the 50-year-old
actor said there is "extreme intolerance" in the
country. Earlier on Wednesday, controversial
BJP MP Yogi Adityanath compared Shah
Rukh to Pakistani terrorist Hafiz Saeed, the
mastermind of Mumbai carnage, over his
"extreme intolerance" comment and also
suggested that he go to Pakistan.
Slamming Vijayvargiya, Raut asked the BJP
general secretary not to bring Pakistan into
this debate on tolerance, saying that it is
India's internal matter. He said SRK is a
superstar only because India is tolerant.
"Shah Rukh Khan is a superstar only because
the country is tolerant and has never thought
in the name of religion," the Sena leader said.
However, Raut said Shah Rukh spoke quite
late on the issue. "First of all Shah Rukh Khan
should not have gotten into this debate on
tolerance and secondly, out of the people who
have returned their awards, the number of
Muslims is almost negligible. Also, Shah Rukh
spoke on the issue very late," he said.
Meanwhile, under fire for his remark against
SRK, Vijayvargiya on Wednesday withdrew his
controversial tweets but asserted that had
there been intolerance in India, SRK would not
have been the most popular actor after
Amitabh Bachchan.
We sincerely hope that the controversy comes
to rest, and SRK is not targeted by the
political parties further, over his freedom of
expression on subjects like art and culture.https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/news/344269/srk-gets-support-shiv-sena-says-shouldnt-be-targeted-because-he-muslim
