Hours after Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut retracted his comments on the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi having met mafia don Karim Lala, his kin as well as those of Haji Mastan on Thursday revealed that politicians and top film stars of the era and the much-dreaded underworld dons had enjoyed a great rapport.
Salim Khan, the grandson of Abdul Karim Sherkhan alias Kalim Lala, said not only Indira Gandhi but even other leaders like Bal Thackeray, Sharad Pawar, and Rajiv Gandhi used to meet him frequently in Mumbai or New Delhi.
“Though it is wrong to say that Indira Gandhi came down to Pydhonie (south Mumbai) to meet my grandfather, it’s well known that they had met in New Delhi, there are pictures available,” Salim Khan told IANS.
