Bishnoi Community Protests: Effigies of Salman and Salim Khan Burned in Jaipur Over Blackbuck Poaching Case

The blackbuck poaching case is getting hotter day by day as Salman Khan is not ready to apologize for the alleged crime and the Bishnoi community is not in the mood for forgiveness. Meanwhile, the matter has escalated in Jaipur where protestors have stepped on the road to demonstrate against Salim Khan and his son Salman Khan. Reports are suggesting that even their manikins also have been burnt by the protestors.

Key Takeaways

  • The Bishnoi community is demanding a formal apology from Salman Khan for the grave disrespect of their beliefs.
  • Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan recently said that apologizing to the Bishnoi community means Salman killed the Blackbuck.
  • Serious threats to Salim Khan’s family have increased in recent times, even shots were also fired outside the Galaxy apartment.
  • Mumbai Police have increased the security for Salim Khan’s family to reduce any potential attack.

Lots of things are happening in the life of Salman Khan at this point in time, which he also admitted on the sets of Bigg Boss Season 18 during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode. Especially after the assassination of Baba Siddiqui in Mumbai earlier this month, the tensions for Salman Khan have ramped up. Amid the growing security concerns for Salman Khan and his family, a protest also started in Jaipur where the members of the Bishnoi community are burning Salman Khan and his father Salim Khan’s effigies. According to the reports, the act of burning of manikins of screenwriter Salim Khan and actor Salman Khan was triggered by Salim Khan’s recent interview with ABP News.

A few days ago, you might have watched an interview of Salim Khan following the murder of Baba Siddiqui. In the interview, Salim Khan opened up about the Blackbuck Poaching Case and reacted to the assassination of Baba Siddiqui. However, the Bishnoi community perceived Salim Khan’s remarks as misleading. Therefore, the people of the Bishnoi community have started burning effigies in Jaipur, indicating that the wounds of the Bishnoi community remain fresh even after 26 years. For the unversed, the Bishnois hold the blackbuck sacred, therefore, they want the accused Salman Khan to issue a public and formal apology.

Amid this brewing controversy, the matter took a sinister turn when infamous gangster Lawrence Bishnoi publicly threatened Salman Khan and his father Salim Khan. The gangster also added that the Blackbuck Poaching Case is the reason for his vendetta. However, Lawrence Bishnoi has agreed to forgive Salman Khan and his father Salim Khan if they apologize to the Bishnoi community. His condition is that Salman Khan must visit their temple in Rajasthan and apologize to the whole community. Lawrence Bishnoi also hinted at severe consequences if Salman Khan does not apologize to them.

It can not be ignored that several shots were also fired outside Salman Khan’s house earlier this year, which only raised security concerns for the superstar. In response to repetitive threats to the Khan family, Mumbai Police have increased the security of the superstar and deployed heavy police outside his residence. During the protest in Jaipur, the Bishnois issued a statement emphasizing on collective sentiment of betrayal and determination. They accused Salim Khan of misleading people with his false remarks in an interview. They are ready to ensure justice at any cost in the Blackbuck case.
