Bal Thackeray gives a green signal to MNIK?

Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan might breathe a sigh of relief after Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray stated that Sena activists would not disrupt the screening of his My Name Is Khan. Writing an editorial of the party mouthpiece Saamna Thackeray said "Traitors, with the blessings of the Congress party, go ahead. Shiv Sena will not block you. Why our Shiv Sainiks should be beaten up and arrested?".

Shiv Sena had earlier branded Shahrukh as a 'traitor' after he had voiced his support for the Pakistani players in the third season of the IPL. The ultra nationalists Sena protested to these comments by tearing posters of My Name Is Khan and threatening the theatres against screening of the movie. Shahrukh also stood his ground and refused to apologise to Sena over the issue.

Although others have expressed same views about IPL auction(pakistani players) row but why SRK was targetted.NDTV's P Roy passed the coments on that day that ,"this was a bad day" should muslims learn a lesson out of it? Is the freedom of expression to be ommited from the constitution? Shiv Saniks should openly demand for a seperate Marathi Land , if they mean so , or otherwise should respect views of other people or reply in a proper and democratic way . Bal thakray , Odhav or Raj are not any costitutional authorties to issue dictates.

VSN Chowdary and some people do not know that srk's father, grand father were freedom fighter and they migrated to india because they did not accept pakistan as their country. and guys like VSN whatever without knowing any history and truth post this types of lunatic, abusive and insane like comment. This really shameful for a genuine democratic country the grestest INdia

SRK's father and Grand Father's may be any persons but we respect them as Individuals and as they were citizens of this country.But that does not give SRK a clean chit.He has to prove himself by his acts and deeds.He proved that he is a supporter of a terrorist country and hence he cannot be spared.
