The Bishnoi family has broken their silence, voicing strong support for Lawrence Bishnoi amidst growing tensions with Bollywood star Salman Khan. Lawrence’s cousin, Ramesh Bishnoi, publicly called on Salman to apologize for the 1998 blackbuck poaching incident, asserting that the entire Bishnoi community stands behind Lawrence. Ramesh stressed the community’s reverence for wildlife, citing their historical sacrifices for nature, and believes the incident wounded their religious sentiments.
While Salman’s legal battle over the poaching case lingers, Ramesh pointed out that the Bishnoi community isn’t seeking monetary compensation but wants respect and justice. He accused Salman of previously offering money to settle the matter, which they rejected, choosing instead to trust the courts. Meanwhile, Lawrence Bishnoi, currently jailed on multiple criminal charges, had famously declared in 2018 that he wanted to kill Salman for disrespecting their faith. Despite his criminal accusations, Ramesh highlighted that Lawrence’s guilt is yet to be proven in court, contrasting it with Salman’s conviction in the blackbuck case.
Lawrence, known for his involvement in several high-profile cases, has garnered a mix of fear and reverence. Ramesh claims that many are extorting in Lawrence’s name, while the family, with vast landholdings, denies any financial motive behind his alleged activities. He emphasized that their support for Lawrence stems from their shared belief that the gangster is being framed, further complicating an already contentious situation.
As the drama unfolds, one question looms large: will Salman Khan apologize, or are we headed for yet another twist in this real-life saga?
