Read what Salman Khan's father Salim Khan said about Modi: 'He has learnt his lesson'

Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's father Salim Khan has said he has forgiven Narendra Modi for the 2002 Gujarat riots. Salim Khan had words of praise for Modi for the way he has run his



"I will not like to speak anything on the current political scenario. Because, I just do not understand what's happening. Everybody is lampooning the other, nothing else. Is anybody saying what he or she will do for the country?  And day by day, the debate is becoming too personal and dirty. I feel ashamed. Today Pakistan is behind us in all respects, but look at the cabinet in Pakistan. They dont throw shoes like they do it here in Parliament. At least they have some dignity. Here there is no self-respect, no dignity. And for this, both the communities are responsible.  This should end.

"(on we should forgive the past and move ahead): "what is the other alternative? Should we weep for the rest of our lives and stop moving ahead. My mother died, I thought I can't live anybody. But today I am alive. That was in 1995. Should I continue to weep even today? My father died in 1951. Should I still weep for him? Yes, whatever happened (in Gujarat), nobody is justifying. No sane person can justify, but this should never be repeated. I believe Modi has learnt his lesson, and till the time, he is there, no innocent person will die.
