After MDMK, the Dravida Munnettra Kazhagam criticised Hindi cinema superstar Salman Khan for allegedly campaigning in support of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, saying it was not just the issue of Tamils in that country, but also that of the Indian fishermen.
Party spokesperson TKS Elangovan claims Indian fishermen were attacked by Sri Lankan Navy.
“And at this stage Salman Khan going to Sri Lanka to campaign for Rajapaksa means he is not bothered about the Indian fishermen. This is highly condemnable,” he was quoted as saying by PTI.
MDMK founder Vaiko had criticised Khan for campaigning for Rajapaksa, who is testing his fortunes in next month’s Presidential elections in Sri Lanka, eying a third term.
Meanwhile Sri Lankan actor-turned politician Ranjan Ramanayake today asked Salman Khan to stay away from the country’s politics.
The Sri Lankan actor, who is also a UNP MP, advised the Indian actor not to “sell” himself to “the corrupt politicians” and appealed him to go back to India.
“You are very popular in Sri Lanka and I am a fan of you. I am telling you please do not sell yourself to corrupt politicians. Please go back to India”, Ramanayake said on Youtube.
