Ramesh Bishnoi, cousin of Lawrence Bishnoi escalated the conflict between Salman Khan and Lawrence. Ramesh Bishnoi in a recent interview stated that the entire Bishnoi community is angry against Salman Khan in the Blackbuck case.
Back in 1998, Salman Khan was accused of hunting a Blackbuck during his film casting Hum Sath Sath Hain in Rajasthan. Blackbuck is an endangered species worshiped as a sacred animal by the community of Bishnoi. Salman Khans’ irresponsible actions toward the animal raised conflict with the community.
Addressing this Ramesh Bishnoi, in his recent interview with a media portal revealed that “Our community loves trees and wild animals, and for this 363 men and women have sacrificed their lives for green trees. When Salman Khan killed the blackbuck, our blood was boiling. When the community gathered on this incident, the matter was up to the court, the society left it to the court.”
Ramesh also added “Salman Khan played with the beliefs of the community, made fun of the society. The entire society stands with Lawrence in this matter. Salman Khan should either apologize or he should be ready.”
“Lawrence Bishnoi has 110 acres of land and Salman Khan offered a blank check for killing Blackbuck,” says Ramesh Bishnoi.
Then he adds “Salman’s father said that Lawrence did this all for money but I want to tell you that Bishnoi and the community earn a living with hard work. I would like to tell you that during the time of the incident, your son offered money by writing a black check to fill in the desired number. If the society craves for hunger, they would have taken the money at that time.”
Ramesh expressed his concern towards the sentiment of the community regarding the animals. And if someone tries to kill the animals, the Bishnoi community is ready to sacrifice and will continue to do it even today.
Meanwhile, when asked about the accusations towards Lawrence, Ramesh Bishnoi declared “Lawrence possesses 110 acres of land, and if it was for money, would a person with 100 acres of land do such thing? Nothing has been proven yet. Others are demanding extortion in his name.”
In the same incident, Lawrence was accused of sending death threats to Salman Khan. As per the reports of Mumbai Police, “A threatening message has been received on WhatsApp demanding INR 5 crore from Salman Khan to end the rivalry with Lawrence.”
The message reads “If Salman Khan wants to stay alive and wants to end the enmity with Lawrence Bishnoi, don’t take it casually and pay INR 5 crore. If the money is not given, Salman Khan’s condition will be worse than Baba Siddique.” Lawrence Bishnoi is an accused gangster still serving punishment in Sabarmati jail, Gujarat for multiple allegations, extortions, and murders.
