Defending the ‘Dabangg’ Khan, Congress leader and Madhya Pradesh’s Sports and Youth Welfare Minister Jitu Patwari, told PTI, “Salman is such a wonderful actor who always spread the message of religious harmony. But, the BJP’s thinking is full of hatred and this party want to take political advantage by creating enmity among people. The BJP should give up this kind of mindset and stop creating hurdles in the development of the state.”
