“A Khan named Shahrukh tells us to love Pakistan but nobody feels suffocated due to his treachery. Traitors, do whatever you want to do with the blessings of Congress. Sena won't stop you," said Bal Thackeray in the editorial of Shiv Sena’s ‘Samna’ newspaper.
When Shahrukh Khan who arrived yesterday in Mumbai after spending few days in New York, London and Berlin promoting his film ‘My Name is Khan’ was asked about the fuss between Bal Thackeray and himself, Shahrukh was at simple answering, “I have not said anything that is anti-national or anti-Indian. There is no other reason because I have not said anything I should feel sorry about. I stand by what I said and I would like to say that may be the group has misunderstood me. If Balasaheb wants me to meet him, I will do that.”
All this Shiva Sena’s firing on King Khan took place in Mumbai for Shahrukh Khan’s comments on picking Pakistani players for IPL, if there are any vacant places in his team.
