The debate on Salman Khan’s outrageous rape analogy has taken yet another turn. His father Salim had earlier said that despite what Salman said his intention was not wrong.

When I used to walk out of that ring, it used to be actually like a raped woman walking out... I don’t think I should have...
Salman Khan’s ‘rape’ remark&nbsp;

He even apologised on behalf of the superstar. But every time Salman had a chance to do the same, he chose to remain silent.

Now his father has made several comments on how the media has taken the issue to a point of saturation when he had hoped his apology early on would end the debate for good. He also asked what is the meaning of holding a person “under the guillotine, who knows rightly or wrongly that he has not committed a crime.”

If only Salman would apologise to end the “problem,” eh?
