In bad taste: Salman Khan's father takes potshots at Nawaz Sharif

Comments come in the wake of Sunday's Uri attack

A number of Bollywood stars including Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra condemned the recent Uri attack in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Salman Khan's father Salim Khan followed suit, in a manner that certainly does not befit a man of his stature. Khan, a celebrated scriptwriter, tweeted that no one listened to what Sharif had to say, according to his own admission.

your army, your parliament or your people. Wonder if your respected family listens to you ???

"Beg your pardon Mr Sharif, If people those who gave you your name knew what your characteristics would be, they would have named you Be-Nawaz Sharir," Khan also tweeted.

"A big blunder has been committed. Its your own admission that no one listens to you in Pakistan be it, your army, your parliament or your people. Wonder if your respected family listens to you???" he said in another tweet.



Salim's comments come in the wake of Sunday's terror attack on an Indian army camp in Jammu and Kashmir which left 18 soldiers dead. India blamed the attack on Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad.



Sharif has been highlighting rights violations in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir over his New York visit. Sharif is visiting the megacity in connection with the 71st session of the United Nations General Assembly.
