Amid escalating tensions and death threats, the Bishnoi community has taken a strong stand against Bollywood actor Salman Khan and his father Salim Khan by burning their effigies. This protest, which took place on Friday, reflects the Bishnoi community’s ongoing demand for an apology from Salman in the infamous Blackbuck hunting case.
Bishnoi Community’s Stance Against Salman Khan
The Bishnoi community, historically known for its dedication to wildlife protection, has raised its voice yet again against Salman Khan, urging him to apologize for his alleged involvement in the Blackbuck case. This protest is part of a series of actions taken after Salim Khan’s statements defending his son and dismissing any link between the Bishnoi gang and recent incidents, including the murder of politician Baba Siddique, which the Lawrence Bishnoi gang had claimed responsibility for.
Salim Khan’s Statement Sparks Outrage
Salim Khan recently asserted his son’s innocence in the Blackbuck case during an interview, stating that “Salman cannot kill anyone” and refuting the Bishnoi gang’s alleged involvement in recent criminal activities. These comments have further fueled the Bishnoi community’s anger, leading them to organize a large-scale protest in Jodhpur, where hundreds gathered to express their dissatisfaction.
Warning to Salman Khan
The Bishnoi community has warned that if Salman does not issue a public apology for the Blackbuck hunting case, they will initiate a larger movement backed by Hindu groups. The group’s firm stance highlights their continued dedication to protecting wildlife, particularly the Blackbuck, which holds religious significance for the community.
This ongoing tension between the Bishnoi community and Salman Khan is emblematic of a larger controversy that has kept the Blackbuck hunting case in public focus, years after the initial allegations.
