Salman Khan should apologise, says BJP

Mumbai, June 21: Superstar Salman Khan should tender an apology for his controversial statement on women, BJP said on Tuesday, June 21.

The 50-year-old actor has landed himself in a controversy after he reportedly compared himself with a raped woman when quizzed about the gruelling "Sultan" shoot.

"Salman Khan should apologise. It might be a slip of tongue. There is no rationale to it," BJP spokesperson Shaina NC said. "Whatever the logic, Salman should apologise for the statement," she said.[Salman Khan lands in soup for his 'raped woman' analogy]

"The analogy was wrong," Shaina said, referring to the actor's reported remarks that he felt like a "raped woman" after the "Sultan" shoot. "This isn't about Salman's fan following but about a self-respecting man respecting women," she added.
