The Maharashtra State Women’s Commission (MSWC) on Wednesday
rejected an answer by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan on his recent rape
comments and summoned him in person on July 7, a top official told here.
In his letter dated June 28 – submitted through his lawyer –
Khan told that since the matter is before the National Commission for Women, it
should not be continued with MSWC to avoid duplication.
“We have concurrent powers just the way the NCW has. This matter
can be heard at the state level too. Therefore, his version is invalid,” told
MSWC Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar.
She told the actor has been summoned on July 7 at the MSWC
office along with his lawyers.
“We have asked him to put forth his views in an affidavit,”
Rahatkar further added.
Salman Khan was issued a notice for his “raped woman”
remark.
During a group media interaction last week, Salman Khan told
that he “felt like a raped woman” after shooting for a grueling wrestling
sequence for his forthcoming film, Sultan. He plays a wrestler in the movie.
“It is like the most difficult thing…When I used to walk out
of that ring, it used to be actually like a raped woman,” he was reported as
telling.
