"...Aap Salman Khan saab ki baat kare ya meri baat kare, har ek ko haq hai ki apni bachchon ki hifazat ke liye soche aur soch ke faisla kare (Whether you are talking about Salman Khan or me, everybody has the right to think about the safety of his or her children and arrive at an informed decision).
"...Lekin han tarikh se sikhna chahiye ki kya hua tha, kya kya dekh chuke hain...Jo saamne log aa rahe hai unke haton ka rang kya hai aur unke kiye hue karname kitne kale hai ya kitne safed hai. Yeh hamey sochna chahiye aur fir apna faisla karna chahiye...(We must learn from the past what had happened, what we had seen.

"One should act only after considering all these aspects," he added.
