Apologize To Lawrence Bishnoi Now: Salman Khan Pressured After Threats And Baba Siddique’s Murder

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been advised by farmer leader Rakesh Tikait to apologize to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi over the infamous 1998 blackbuck poaching case.

Tikait, who is known for his leadership during various farmers' movements, warned of potential consequences if Khan does not seek forgiveness, citing the recent murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, allegedly orchestrated by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Tikait's Cautionary Advice

Speaking publicly, Tikait urged Salman Khan to visit a temple and offer an apology to the Bishnoi community, who revere the blackbuck. "This is a societal issue," Tikait said, adding, "Salman Khan should go to a temple and ask for forgiveness. Otherwise, you never know what might happen, as even a person in jail could harm him." Tikait also remarked, "Lawrence Bishnoi is a dangerous man," implying the severity of the situation.

The Salman Khan-Lawrence Bishnoi Feud

The long-standing feud between Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi stems from the actor's alleged involvement in the 1998 blackbuck killing during the filming of Hum Saath Saath Hain. The blackbuck holds significant religious value for the Bishnoi community. Although Khan has consistently denied the allegations, Lawrence Bishnoi's cousin, Ramesh Bishnoi, claimed the actor once tried to settle the matter with a blank cheque, which the community rejected, as their grievance is rooted in their values rather than monetary compensation.

Baba Siddique's Murder and the Bishnoi Gang

The tension surrounding this issue has escalated after the recent killing of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddique on October 12, reportedly orchestrated by Lawrence Bishnoi's gang. Three attackers shot Siddique near the office of his son, MLA Zeeshan Siddique, in Mumbai's Nirmal Nagar area. The Mumbai Police have made 15 arrests in connection with the case, and the Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the murder.

Tikait's Final Appeal

Tikait stressed that a public apology from Khan could not only diffuse the situation but also restore respect for both parties. He believes this could prevent potential retaliation and further escalation of violence linked to the Bishnoi gang.

With the recent threat hanging over Salman Khan, Tikait's advice serves as a warning of the dangers the actor may face if the situation remains unresolved.
