Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif on Thursday flayed the verdict of Indian court against Bollywood actor Salman Khan who has been sentenced
to five years jail for poaching.Criticising the status of minorities in neighbouring India,the minister said; "Salman Khan has been
sentenced because he's a minority." adding that to sentence him five years jail in a case of 1998 blackbuck poaching, that was twenty
years old, shows that lives of Muslims, 'untouchables' or Christians are not valued in India.Speaking with Geo News, Foreign Minister said;
" if Salman Khan had belonged to the religion of the ruling party of India he would not have been sentenced and the court might have been
sentencing amid chaotic scenes outside court.Salman Khan along with Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam Kothari and a local
resident, Dushyant Singh was accused of killing two of the endangered species.
