Salman Khan during the promotion of Tubelight made a controversial comment, "People who order war should be asked to go to war themselves. Take this gun and go to war. (They will realise it) and it will get over in a day. They will tremble and shake and they will eventually take the route of dialogues and discussions."
Salman's statement created a lot of controversy. Major Gen (Retd) GD Baksh on his comment said, "We need to ask how do we stop the killings. We’ve been doing nothing but peace talks and peace talks. Would Salman care to give this statement to the parents who lost their children in proxy war? Life of each Indian citizen is important. If an Indian dies, that blood is precious."
Also Simi Chandok, editor of a channel stated, "Why is Salman unable to talk peace with people from across border? Why talk to Indians only? This time Salman has made a sensible statement, but who’s controlling the clock of his heart?"
RSN Singh, Defence Analyst said, "There is war of choice, need and war of deniability. Don’t underestimate the patriotism and nationalism of Indians."
