Salman Khan 'Good Actor': UP Minister Clarifies He Meant His 'Traitor Remark' For Shahrukh Khan
Labor and Employment Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Thakur Raghuraj Singh on Thursday, January 15 clarified that he meant his traitor remark towards Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, and not Salman Khan.

The minister has now taken a U-turn, stating that Salman Khan is a good actor while labeling Shahrukh Khan a traitor.

Beat this.
UP Minister Thakur Raghuraj Singh, who called actor Salman Khan a traitor and wanted him hanged, has now issued a clarification. He basically meant those words for Shahrukh Khan.
