Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who was recently seen flying kites with Narendra Modi, has said the Gujarat CM should not apologize for the 2002 riots as he had been given a clean chit by the court.
“Why would Modi say sorry if he is not responsible for it? And if he is responsible for it, why (did) the judiciary gave him a clean chit, why nothing happened?(sic)” the actor said in an interview to Headlines Today.
However, Salman said he was not in a position yet to endorse anyone for the Prime Minister’s post. “Don’t want to take any name regarding the best candidate for the PM post as I do not want my judgment to influence millions of fans across India,” he said.
The actor said he had gone to Gujarat to promote his latest film, not to endorse Modi. But he added that “Modi is very cultured. I had an amazing interaction with him. I am impressed by the development in Gujarat and the way women in my team were treated. Modi treated my sister in a very respectful manner”.
