Bollywood star Salman Khan says that his joining a signature campaign to oppose the gag order on Raj Thackeray did not mean that he or his family supported the breakaway Shiv Sena chief's campaign against north Indian migrants in Maharashtra.
In a letter that he issued to the media, Salman said: "It disturbs me to see people from various walks of life reacting to this unverified quote so strongly without confirming the credibility of the quote. We ourselves being originally migrants are not in any position to support such claims.
"My father is a migrant who lived in Madhya Pradesh and my mother comes from Jammu and that qualifies us as migrants. I think this matter has unnecessarily been blown out of proportion with regards to my family and would request my friends from the media not to misrepresent our position on this matter. Let's live in harmony, after all we are Indians first.
"This is to reaffirm before the media and the public that my family and I have been unnecessarily dragged into the entire migrants issue with regard to north Indians."
