Father Salim backs Salman Khan's appointment as IOA ambassador

New Delhi: Bollywood scriptwriter Salim Khan has once again stepped forward to support his son Salman Khan's appointment as the goodwill ambassador of the Indian Olympic contingent.

The 80-year-old writer took to the social media and posted an array of tweets explaining his stand of backing Indian Olympic Association's decision. 

Salim also stated that he is known to be fair as he never supported the 'Bajrangi Bhaijan' star in all other previous controversies.

Earlier, Salman's appointment was criticised by wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt and sprint legend Milkha Singh.
