\u201cI am also an artiste and artistes don\u2019t fall from the sky. Pakistani artistes have refused to condemn Uri terror attack. Why should our artists speak up for them?,\u201d Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief told reporters here.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Stepping up his attack on Bollywood superstar Salman Khan for opposing the ban on Pakistani artistes in India, MNS chief Raj Thackeray today asked him to go and work there.
\n\u201cOur soldiers don\u2019t have any personal animosity with Pakistani soldiers. The bullets our soldiers face are not filmy. Salman gets up after being hit by a bullet,\u201d Raj said, reacting to Salman\u2019s remarks, adding \u201cI have seen his tubelight blinker many a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am also an artiste and artistes don\u2019t fall from the sky. Pakistani artistes have refused to condemn Uri terror attack. Why should our artists speak up for them?,\u201d Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief told reporters here.
\nRaj said the 50-year-old actor should work in Pakistan if he has so much love for artistes of the neighbouring country.
\n\u201cArtistes should know its always \u2018nation first\u2019. Artistes are not inseparable from society. Is there a dearth of talent in our country?,\u201d he said, adding those supporting Pakistani artists will face opposition from his party.<\/p>\n

Raj said he does not buy the argument that there is no justification in banning Pakistani artists since they are not terrorists.
\n\u201cHow does that concern me if the people are good. I am seeing only terrorists who come to kill our people,\u201d he said, adding film industry was only concerned about the business of their films.
\nRaj said what would happen if Indian soldiers keep aside their arms to hear a Ghulam Ali concert. \u201cWhat will happen then. Are soldiers our servants? …They are protecting us.\u201d
\nInterestingly, Raj is on good terms with Salman and is a regular visitor to the actor\u2019s home during the Ganpati festival.
\nSalman had yesterday said artistes from Pakistan should not be treated like terrorists and art and terrorism should not be mixed.
\nAlso the Shiv Sena slammed Salman Khan for coming out in support of Pakistani actors working in India, saying the actor keeps on talking \u201cnonsense\u201d as none from his family had laid their lives down for the country.
\n\u201cNo one from his (Salman\u2019s) family has died for the country and hence, he keeps on talking nonsense. Even if you take a protest march to his house, it will not work and he will continue to talk so,\u201d Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut told a press conference here.
\nHe said the actor should be \u201ckept in confinement\u201d in his house so that he \u201cdoes not speak his mind\u201d.
\n\u201cWhen the country is against terrorism and there are possibilities of a war with Pakistan, Salim Khan should keep his son locked in his house, because you never know what will he say and insult him (Salim),\u201d Raut said, adding that Salman\u2019s statement was \u201cin contradiction\u201d to his father\u2019s \u201cfirm stance\u201d against Pakistan.
\nThe 50-year-old actor had yesterday said in Delhi that artistes from Pakistan \u201cshould not be treated like terrorists\u201d and \u201cart and terrorism should not be mixed\u201d.
\nMumbai-based Indian Motion Picture Producers\u2019 Association has passed a resolution to ban Pakistani actors from the industry in the wake of the Uri terror attack in Kashmir which left 19 soldiers of the Indian Army dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
