Tamil Nadu political parties yesterday criticised Hindi cinema superstar Salman Khan for allegedly campaigning in support of President Mahinda Rajapakasa, saying it was not just the issue of Tamils in that country, but also that of the Indian fishermen. DMK Party spokesperson T.K.S. Elangovan said Indian fishermen were attacked by Sri Lankan Navy.

“And at this stage Salman Khan going to Sri Lanka to campaign for Rajapaksa means he is not bothered about the Indian fishermen. This is highly condemnable,” he said. MDMK founder Vaiko had criticised Khan for campaigning for Rajapaksa, who is testing his fortunes in next month’s presidential elections in Sri Lanka, eying a third term. (Times of India).
