Mumbai, January 27: A video is going viral on social media claiming that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has announced that he is joining Asaduddin Owaisi’s All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM). An alleged photograph of Salman Khan with Owaisi is also being widely shared to bolster the claim.

"I, Salman Khan, announce that very soon I am going to join Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM party. In today's time, if a party talks about equality and human rights, then it is AIMIM. Mr Owaisi, congratulations on your victory from the bottom of my heart. God willing, I will meet you very soon," the actor can be heard saying in the alleged video. Fact Check: Did Dhanush Secretly Marry Mrunal Thakur in Chennai?
