Salman Yusuf Khan took to his Instagram handle and shared a video of himself from the airport along with a long note detailing the incident. Along with the clip, he wrote, ‘On my way to Dubai and I meet this immigration officer who speaks to me in Kannada..and I try to tell him in my broken Kannada that I understand the language, but Can’t speak that much. well and show me your passport and tell my name and my place of birth and my father’s name and his place of birth and tell me to tell that.. you and your father are born in bangalore and you are saying that i am kannada Nahi bolta..to which I replied..that being born in Bangalore does not mean that I am born with this language.’
Salman was harassed at the airport
He said, ‘I can be born in Bangalore and travel the world like I have always been a Saudi kid who grew up in Saudi.. I have never lived in the country during my schooling.’ Whatever I know, I know through my friends. He said- If you can’t speak Kannada then I can doubt you… I told him that I know Hindi, the official language of my country and my mother tongue is Hindi, why should I know Kannada. I asked him again what is my doubt..? And he says – I can doubt you for anything.
Salman asked the country a question
It is further written in his post, ‘On which he remained silent. I told him that if illiterate people like you remain in this country then this country will never develop. On which he was just mumbling with his head down. The good thing is that I get a chance to represent my city and win a national award..that I have to prove myself in front of these illiterate goths..’
