Well Mr.Khan its not about freedom of speech,its about showing sympathy to a nation which has given trouble since its inception.You called that nation Great. You said that you love that nation, how could you say this when they are killing our people.Its not about showing affection to any other nation and its not going to strengthen your position as a peace ambassador,because the country involved here is not any other country but its pakistan whom world considers a terror hub.
Do you remember 26/11,the grave massacre people from Pakistan did?You are welcoming people of a country who consider your country (if you consider it your country,m not sure though) India as their biggest enemies.There is no way anyone can forget what they did with us and move forward, unless the criminals meet their fate.
For your point that sports should be kept away from politics,I am sorry my friend that is not possible.If you look in the history 65 countries including USA didnot took part in 1980 olympics in Moscow,former USSR because of Soviet attack on Afghanistan.None of those 65 countries suffered from that attack but still they snapped the ties and the irony is that in this case you are on the receiving end of terrorism.Does your so called art(if you call your films as art) and sports comes before nation??
Now regarding your statement it hurts you,that none of Pak players are in IPL.My question is why didnot you bid for Pak players?IPL didnot banned them,then why didnot you showed your affection at that time? Not bidding at that time and now coming out and saying you love that country and your parents were immigrant raises doubts in my mind about your intentions.If you have so much love for that country why dont you just migrate to that country and be happy over there.
Lets not mix it with freedom of speech and lets not get distracted with Thackreys.Those guys are non issue.I stand for India being a welcoming country and I beleive in the right of every indian to live work in any part of country.Keeping that mumbai issue aside I just want to ask you Mr.Khan why you love Pakistan so much?Dont you feel that your support for non entities like pak players is an insult to the martyrs who fought for Mumbai and India?Does cricket comes first for you?Is giving equal opportunity for a pakistani player more important than safety and integrity of India?
