Actor Salman Khan on Friday declared that neither he nor his family members were against migrants.

In a press release, Salman said, “Me and my family have been unnecessarily dragged into the entire migration issue with regards to North Indians. The media story stating our support with regards to this issue is misrepresented and I can confirm that me and my family have not made any statement or endorsed any campaign that supports this issue.”

Salman and his father Salim had signed up a campaign channeled by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) against the court order enforced by the state government on Raj Thackeray.

“We ourselves being originally migrants are not in any position to support such claims. My father is a migrant who lived in Madhya Pradesh and my mother comes from Jammu and that qualifies us as migrants. We are a secular nationalistic family with members from different faiths, different communities. I think this matter has unnecessarily been blown out of proportion with regards to my family,” Salman added.

MNS has already cleared up that Sallu has backed them against the court order and not on the migrants matter.

The MNS cancelled the celebration of its second foundation day on March 9 after the BMC denied it permission to hold a rally at Shivaji Park.

A decision on the matter of the court order imposed by Mumbai police on MNS chief Raj Thackeray will be taken by March 10, deputy chief minister R.R. Patil said here.

Mumbai police have issued show cause notice to Raj, asking him as to why the gag order, which originally expired on March three, should not be extended.
