India deserves better Heroes, Not Salman Khan!

Salman Khan's Sultan is minting money at the box office. But off-screen things don't seem to be going too well for the superstar. Salman has now been summoned for a third time by the Maharashtra State Women's Commission in regard to his 'rape comment'. The actor has so far failed to make any appearance before the panel. Rejecting a reply by Salman on his recent rape comment, the commission has now asked him to appear before it on July 14.

MSWC chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar said:

"The actor has been asked to be present during a hearing by the commission at 4 p.m. on July 14 in this connection... In our summons, we have asked the actor that his statement amounts to insulting women, and thus, he needs to be present and put his argument before the commission."

Salman's lawyer had on June 29 urged the MSCW not to pursue the matter to avoid duplication since it was already being dealt with by the NCW. In response to a letter sent by the actor to the commission, Rahatkar added:

"We are not satisfied with his response and are not accepting his response. We have concurrent power and thus the hearing will take place before us. And, if he evades the third summons, the law will take its course."

The MSCW issued a notice to Salman after he said he "felt like a raped woman" during the shooting of Sultan. Though Salman has so far refused to budge, women's groups and social activists have been adamant towards seeking an apology from the actor.
