New Delhi: Pakistan foreign minister Khwaja Asif says that actor Salman Khan was sentenced to five years in jail by a Jodhpur court on Thursday in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case because he is a member of the minority community.
“Salman has been sentenced because he’s a minority,” the Pakistan foreign minister told Geo News during his appearance in the channel’s programme Capital Talk.
“Maybe if he belonged to the religion of the ruling party of India he would not have been given such a harsh sentence and the court might have been lenient with him,” Asif added.
