Salman Khan feels that the right kind of education can heal the conflict-ridden Kashmir Valley. Salman's upcoming home production 'Notebook' is a love story set in Kashmir featuring newcomers Pranutan, daughter of actor Mohnish Bahl, and Zaheer Iqbal. In the film, Pranutan and Zaheer play the role of school teachers.
At an event when Khan was asked if education can bring a positive change in the Valley, Salman said, "Everyone gets an education, but getting the right one is more important."
In an indirect reference to February 14 terror attack in Pulwama that claimed lives of 40 CRPF soldiers, the actor said, "(The person) who did it (the attack) even he was given education but his tutors, teachers and principles were wrong...
"When we heard about that, it just killed us. This film's backdrop is exactly the same that the kids come and leave the gun."
The actor, who has always restrained himself from commenting on politics, took to Twitter on Thursday to clarify that he was not going to campaign for any political party.
Salman took to his Twitter handle to rubbish rumours regarding the same. "Contrary to the rumours I am not contesting elections nor campaigning for any political party," Salman posted.
