Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s comments over ‘intolerance’ in the country has been blown out of proportions by the media, resulting in 26/11 Mumbai attacks Mastermind Hafiz Saeed inviting him to Pakistan.
In a series of tweets Hafiz said “Discrimination against minorities in India particular Muslims are proof enough that Modi’s India no more secular. Its fascist Hindu state. We welcome Indian Intellectuals raising voice against intolerance inflicted by Hindu extremists if & whenever they come to Pakistan”
“We would be pleased to demonstrate to them JuD’s ongoing relief and rehabilitation efforts for minorities living in Pakistan. Even the renowned Indian Muslims in the field of sports, academia, arts & culture are fighting a constant battle for identity inside India. Any such Muslim, even Shahrukh who is facing difficulty and discrimination in India because of Islam are invited to stay in Pakistan” he added.
Saeed’s invitation comes in response to SRK’s comments on the growing intolerance in India. The superstar had said “There is intolerance, there is extreme intolerance.. there is I think.. there is growing intolerance. It is stupid to be intolerant and this is our biggest issue not just an issue.. Religious intolerance and not being secular in this country is the worst kind of crime that you can do as a patriot”
Meanwhile, the most balanced and sanest of opinions has been expressed by Salman Khan’s father and writer Salim Khan.
Some excerpts from his interview. Those interested, can read Salim Khan’s full interview here
On those returning awards: “It is not easy to return an award any awardee receives after years. They’re throwing away their own merit to express their frustration. They’re not trying to insult anyone – they’re expressing their view non-violently”
On PM Modi “Well, these incidents have nothing to do with PM Narendra Modi – he is not a communal person at all. He totally disapproves of whatever is happening from either side, Hindus or Muslims.”
On FTII chief Gajendra Chauhan “If a person is not wanted by the students for whom he’s expected to run an organisation, he should have the dignity and self-respect to leave – you can’t keep holding onto something which the people you’re associated with don’t want you to have.”

Check out this moronic BJP leader !
Yesterday , he described SRK as ‘Deshdrohi’ .
Today , he described SRK as ‘Most Popular Indian Actor’ !
BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya said Shah Rukh’s “soul” is in Pakistan though he lives in India…
Kailash Vijayvargiya is the same guy who even said that Vyapam scam is not a big deal for us, it’s a small one…
more than 40 people associated with vyapam scam have died so far…but that’s not a big deal…
Kailash Vijayvargiya is the same guy who even mocked and made fun of the death of Akshay Singh, the journalist who died while investigating the Vyapam scam…
Now it’s up to you and your conscience how seriously you should take people like Kailash Vijayvargiya who mock the deaths of common people and spit on the face of morality………
@ Syed – 12:18 pm
Very well said !
BTW , Indicine you should concentrate more on film-related articles as very few people out here actually understand this topic , hence commenting senselessly . You are truly turning into a political website . I (and most others) come here to get film-related updates , and NOT what political idiots have to say !
@ Mohit :
First of , you are not a SRK fan – a Modi fan instead ! No problem , leave this site and comment all your sh*t in a political website .
Secondly , your Modiji promised that he’d change India , remember ‘Acche din …’ etc etc . If he knew that it’s impossible , who asked him to give such fake promises ?
There is a reason why people from Pakistan come in India but not vice-versa. I’m sure SRK will respectfully refuse his proposal.
For once, I would like SRK to come out in public media and make a clear announcement that he’s HAPPY and SAFE in India, just like my Muslim friends who are proud Indians.
Guys please don’t over react or compare actors on this issue..compare acting skills and nothing else.and srk said what he feels.And India is a country in which we all have a right of expression and opinion.India is the 2nd biggest exporter of beef.and Lalu prasad yadav rightly said that even Hindus are eating beef and many Muslims are eating pork.So either u eat eat or don’t eat any meat..don’t set double standards..Make India as a vegetarian country…
salman fans troll salman now as he backs srk in this made up farce media
where are u?
BHAAD MEIN JAYE HAFIZ SAEED
JAB INDIA K LOG AND LEADERS HI SRK KO SUPPORT NAHI DE RAHE
TO BAHAR WALE TO BEHTI GANGA MEIN HAATH DHOYENGE HI
SRK PRIDE OF INDIA
Meanwhile Hafiz Saeed Public addresses and speeches are banned by PEMRA(Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority) to be aired on TV Channels.Extremism will not be tolerated in Pakistan.I hope every Indians should raise voice against the extremism without thinking of his political attachment.I hope many BJP supporters will not support what Shiv Sena and co do..
@ Indicine I think this article is no need to post on your site. Because its not related to Entertainment its related to Hate Politics.
Like Facebook people started abusing and writing hate comment on Srk And Muslims and their Nationalisemd (Deshbhakti).so please Indicine avoid this types of news.
@Indian
There wasnt any need to share that link because I actually laughed on the words “Newly Appointed ISI Chief” and I opened the link and saw that this is 3rd nov 2015 news.Man get a life he was ex ISI chief and Maj Gen Rizwan Akhter is new chief and thats too since Sep 2014.How can you believe the credibility of newspaper which is speaking such blunts lies
http://liveindia.in/bjps-kailash-vijayvargiya-retracts-tweets-says-srk-most-popular-after-amitabh
I have sacrifice my all life to RRS & Bjp . I think all Hindu parties like Bjp , Shiv Sena , Bajrang Dal & MNS should come together & fight against all fake patriotic Indian make India peaceful country . If they come together nobody can’t talk to dare about them . If Paki like Hafeez Saeed has dare to say Srk will come to Pak we will give him protection lol first u should make peaceful Pakistan then talk about our Indian . Where some Muslim party talking about Hindu if u will give me 100 minute I will kill 100 crore Hindu people . Those people who are saying Bjp has given fake promise that I will change India . Congress govt given torture 60 years to India with fake promise we will develop India then what happen . Ghanta much kiya . Modi Sir has not magic hand will change India within 1.5 years . Salute to Bjp atleast they are dare to say the truth I am impressed with Bjp zindabad . @ xzone don’t get me wrong & also want say that why Srk always come in controversies . I also think that Srk has started to gain publicity to Dilwale film . Always when Srk film come to close to release date of film he gain publicity in controversies first they bash Shiv Sena in 2009 My Name Is Khan film promotion . After the 26/11 year later he has charity in USA for Paki .
Once Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh said that Shahrukh Khan can do anything for publicity .
@Xzone- It is only because of morons like you that has resulted in a rapid rise of right wing organisations in India and one of the primary reasons why Bjp would continue to rule for many years to come. So called Pseudo seculars like you think that anyone can hurt the sentiments of the majority community( Hindus) and can easily get away with that. It’s the second time that Hafeez Saeed has invited Srk to Pakistan, but kabhi Salman ya aamir ko bulane ki to himmat ni hui uski, aisa kyun? Salman bhai gave the statement regarding yakub, yes, but later he clarified that he was misunderstood and took back his words, Srk will never do that! And moron who are you talk about cow and other sentiments of Hindus?! Go read Vishnu purana where you’ll realise the importance of cow in Hinduism! Cow’s urine is used for religious ceremonies by all the Hindus! Srk is an actor and he should not indulge in religious sentiments. Secularism doesn’t mean respecting only minorities at the cost of hurting the setiments of majorities you naive!
This is what I was afraid of.
SRK and his remarks gave anti India elements a chance to degrade our Image and potray us an intolerant nation.
Now it wud be interesting to see whether SRK has the balls to respond to this crap from Hafiz Saeed.
No one is telling that hnrble prime minister Shri N.Modi is bad,he is gud person by heart…bt the prblm is dat he is not saying nethng to the person who r giving immatured statement in the public, creating havoc nd misundrstndng in the society nd dat person are non other den his govrnmnt MPs or mla
@ Indian @ sultan intense behind is bash to Bjp leader. Congress support er I to beech mein nahi bolna chahiye they have given 60 year torture to India . With the help of Muslim people they are bashing Bjp but nobody has dare to come close with Modi . @ sultan in this article u are bashing BJP ha ha ye Modi Sir ka dar mujhe achha laga . Happy with Modi govt . Hope indicine will publish my comment .
The only invitation I am interested in is SRK inviting Aamir Khan to his house on his birthday..
Where was Srk MIM party talk rubbishes talk about Hindu people , Hindu God that time Srk has not slapped MIM leader how he dare to talk about Hindu people if he respect to all religions but I know Srk will never give answer to Hafeez Sayed on his statement . He has no dare to say about him . Hope @ indicine will publish my comment but its truth indicine u never allow to publish my comment whenever I write something about Srk u never publish my comment .
Hahaha AB hafiz saeed bhi bola. Great dude.
@the phenom India is not developing since the modi Arrived. Do you what is India growth rate now 7.4% higher than China at the moment. Inflation rate is now below 5%. India was at 142th position among nation worldwide in the list of countries who has environment if smooth business, now it is standing at 114th position. The so called intolerance debate us unnecessary hyping much by media and political parties to downgrade India’s image in world front. even India is now getting high chance to nominate as a permanent member. Don’t worry on 8th Nov you will witness again that India’s public is standing with modi.
Regarding my comment on srk, I said that because whatever prospect srk said those it being highlighted in most negative/controversial way.What it give image to his 3.7 billion fans worldwide. You are becoming a part to degrade India’s image as not to forget he is not a common man or a political leader, he is popular star so many influence him. And I don’t give a damn to any BJP leader statement or shiv sena. I have said what I feel. I respect srk opinion but he choose the wrong way and platform to say these word. You can read Salim khan interview which had very balance thought.
@complan boy I have told you already don’t write longer essay to reply me, don’t worry even most of reader here are also skipping your nonsense.
@xzone I respect your thought but Highlighted a Beef party is a agenda of engineer from J &K to highlighted the issue, he definitely deserved the slap he got BJP leader. I can’t stand with so called secularism by Hindus who denying these facts. Problem is when muslim political leader can abuse our God/goddess we remain silent but when other political leader from Hindu organisation are doing anything we Hindus are standing against them. We are so tolerating, isn’t it.
@indicine again .. My comment hasn’t been posted, not even a single offensive thing in my comment.
If you don’t want a section of people to comment on your page, let me know. You keep doing this time and again. Please reply for once.
Never ever visiting your website otherwise if you really don’t want me to post comments here. Good luck !!!
@Zeeshan, which comment? All your comments have been published.
All the morons should be hanged out who invite him to Pakistan and who want to send him to Pakistan and questioning his patriotism..
Mr. Hafeez saeed, Indian Muslims are happy in India. If they wanted to go Pakistan then they would had gone during independence & participation. Indian Muslims belive in Secularism. They won’t go to Pakistan either you invite them or RSS & BJP force them to go there.
Well,I don’t know why Pakistanis are so concerned about Indian Muslims???
They should better know that Indian muslims are in much better condition than Pakistani muslims,forget Pakistani minorities.
India is capable of providing all its citizen with food,shelter,employment and justice.
If a moron like Hafiz Saeed really wants to work for muslims,why does’nt he helps muslims out there in unstable countries like Iraq,Syria,Nigeria,Yemen and many other poverty stricken muslim african nations.
SRK is an INDIAN and any dog barking about India’s internal matters should’nt even be considered..
Case dismissed!
SRK is not a true Indian, his heart lies to Pakistan surely & to every Muslim in india . He didn’t helped d farmers ,just because they were Hindu? but he helped Pakistanis. He maybe a big star but not a respected star …! Amitabh bachan nd akshay kumar r most respected superstars.
This was my comment on that SRK’s Intolerant statement page which did’nt got published
***
Very late to arrive on this article.
Well,I do agree with some of the points he said and don’t agree with some of his statements.
I agree when he says:
“Not being secular in this country is the worst kind of crime you can do as a patriot”
“If you are a patriot, you must love your country as a whole, not parts of it as religions and regions”
“It is very degrading and humiliating to have to prove my patriotism. I am an Indian-born movie star. I am an Indian-born Indian. I am Indian – how does that get questioned? Nobody has more right to live in this country than me, and I am not going to leave. So shut up”
I don’t agree with him when he says:
There is growing intolerance in the country.
First of all,we don’t have any device to measure the levels of growing intolerance in the country.We assume that intolerance has been growing becoz we are made to see intolerance has been growing.Today,we live in a country where we have so many TV news channel,newspapers,magazines.And how many of them are really worth commendable? Hardly any.They say,Media is the the fourth pillar in Democracy but in India media is the biggest pillar of Hypocrisy.They glorify incidents like the Dadri muder case or riots taking place here and there or a provoking statement by some unknown VHP member like Sadhvi Prachi(who is’nt even a part of the central govt. by any means) and put the blame on Modi somehow?
Did they ever show the good work that RSS volunteers do for the country,they are always presented as “Muslim eating evils” in the media.
Did they ever glorify any positive news that has come out? NO
This media and specially these Aajtak,abp news kind of channels is making people believe that it is all going really vicious here.To get TRPs they have to do this.People like to follow a debate or a programme which makes them polarize.People are interested in seeing representatives fighting on the news channel panels.They don’t like to watch a nice,plain TV reporting without a hint of sensationalism for ex: How many of you really watch the news on Doordarshan?
Trust me,watch their news sometimes..India will look a much better place.
And I was really shocked when i read that srk will return his padmashree for this?
Really ridiculous to be honest.He agreed to return this prestigious award,just for the sake of some congress led movement?
Congress and its allies have no other areas to oppose the central govt.India is doing reasonably well on economic fronts.Even when economy of a country like China stumbled,India’s economy kept on doing well.So these opposition parties have no other topics to oppose the govt.SO they have shamelessly come up with this intolerance card just to polarize the people,create their vote bank which was absolutely NIL in the last Loksabha elections.Not saying that the BJP Govt. is flawless in their journey so far..There are certain issues which needs to be addressed.FTII issue being one of them.

@Babaji, very well said. Balanced point of view, you have a very good understanding of the entire issue.
f off hafeez syed
srk is the most stupid actor who spread stupidity by his stupid comments but he is safe because of his stupid fans.
Nice to see non-SRK fans supporting SRK , great !
@ Hafeez Saeed :
You idiot , instead of inviting Indian Muslims to Pakistan , I’d like to invite you to India !
Just come here , and see the way Indians will ‘love’ you that you’ll never return to Pakistan !
@multan bhushan,
Here is the list what india achieved under modiji’s leadership:-
1. GOI made almost 90 lacs toilets in just a year
2. Separete toilets for boys and girls in all government schools
3. Jan dhan yojna by which almost 15 crores bank accounts opened for poor people
4. India became the top country for FDI
5. India’s brand value has jumped to 7th place from last year’s 8th place
6. Inflation reduced to single digits which was never before in upa rule
7. Infrastructure growth rate jumped to 3.9% from last year which was 1.8%
8. 50% of the national highways constructed in last 30 years belongs to nda government
9. Modi government constructed on average 14 kms roads everyday which was only 8 kms during upa rule
10. In congress rule only kashmir was the issue, but after modi came now POK and baluchistan became issues
11. In modi’s leadership indian army killed militants by crossing the border in myanmar
12. Chhota rajan got arrested and i am sure next will be dawood ibrahim
13. Cbi and ED are doing continuous raids and disclosing the black money inside the country
14. Most biggest achievement is no scam under modi’s leadership which were common things in upa rule..
You are an srk fan that’s ok.. even i was..
But when it comes to the country then for me always india first.. the thing is few pseudo intellectuals cant tolerate a democratically selected leader as they have the habit of dynasty rulers..
