PANJIM: With the video of Bollywood actor Salman Khan snatching a mobile phone of a fan at Dabolim airport going viral, the National Students Union of India (NSUI) on Tuesday urged Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant to ensure that “the authorities see the incident with utter seriousness”.
NSUI has also demanded a public apology from the actor, who arrived in the coastal State for a movie shoot.
NSUI Goa Chief Ahraz Mulla, in a letter to Chief Minister, has said “This is in regards to the recent video doing rounds in social media where Salman Khan is seen snatching the phone from a fan who is trying to click a selfie with the star.”
“I strongly believe and know that photography is not allowed on a defence airport, but we also need to understand the intention of the fan with which he was clicking the selfie without doing any harm to anyone,” he said.
“Also the way in which the actor dealt with the situation is very wrong, snatching the phone from a fan and thereby taking the law in his own hand is not acceptable, the same actor has been involved in many such controversies and has had a record of a violent behaviour towards fans,” Mulla said.
The NSUI has demanded that the authorities should look into this matter with “utter seriousness”.
Mulla has demanded an apology from the actor on public platform since it was a disgrace to the fan publicly, failing which such violent actors with a bad track with fans should not be allowed to visit Goa in the future.
