A major controversy erupted after Uttar Pradesh minister Thakur Raghuraj Singh made a provocative statement against Bollywood actor Salman Khan, calling him a traitor and claiming he should be hanged for allegedly loving Pakistan more than India. Singh also urged people to boycott Salman Khan’s films, alleging that the actor earns money in India while supporting Pakistan and Bangladesh. The statement quickly went viral on social media, triggering widespread outrage and political reactions. Facing backlash, the minister later issued a clarification, claiming he had mistakenly taken Salman Khan’s name and that his remarks were actually directed at Shah Rukh Khan, adding that Salman Khan is a good actor. The contradictory statements further fueled the controversy. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav attacked the BJP over the issue, warning that such remarks could cost the minister his position. Raghuraj Singh is no stranger to controversy, having made similar inflammatory statements in the past. ‘People Like Shah Rukh Khan Are Traitors’: BJP Leader Sangeet Som on KKR Selecting Bangladeshi Cricket Player Mustafizur Rahman (Watch Video).
