An old video of ‘s controversial statements about the tragic 26/11 Mumbai attacks has resurfaced.
In 2010, Salman had made headlines for his comments during an interview with a Pakistani TV channel. He appeared to absolve Pakistan, claiming its government had no role in the attacks. Salman was heard saying, “Too much hype has been created around the 26/11 attacks because elite people were targeted. Attacks have happened on trains and in small towns too, but no one talked about it so much. Everybody knows that the Pakistani government was not behind it and it was a terrorist attack. More than anything, our security had failed.” Yesterday, on the 16th anniversary of the horrific attacks, netizens trolled Salman for his remarks. At the time, Salman had apologised, claiming his words were twisted. The video’s sudden resurgence, amid his ongoing threats, makes us wonder about the timing.

Oo antava over Kissik
