Politicos meeting Salman after conviction undesirable: Pawar

May 08, 2015 19:53

NCP President Sharad Pawar today strongly disapproved of "enthusiasm" shown by certain politicians in calling on Bollywood superstar Salman Khan at his residence after his conviction in the 2002 hit-and-run case.

"After the sessions court verdict on Wednesday, there were some politicians who became overenthusiastic and visited Salman Khan at his residence. This was undesirable. "Why do politicians need to show interest in this (Khan) case when the courts have already passed their judgement? Whatever their personal relations may be with Salman, they should not be displaying it this way," Pawar told reporters in Ratnagiri district in the Konkan region.

A day after he was awarded five-year imprisonment in the case, MNS chief Raj Thackeray had met Khan and his family members at his residence in suburban Bandra.

Congress MLA Nitesh Rane, too, met the actor the same day. Nitesh, son of senior Maharashtra Congress leader and former Chief Minister Narayan Rane, had described his meeting with the superstar as 'personal'.
