On September 2010 , Khan was reported to have claimed during an interview on a Pakistani channel that the 26/11 attacks got a lot of attention because the " elite " were targeted . During the interview the actor had said : " It was the elite that was targeted this time . Five star hotels and stuff . So they panicked . Then they got up and spoke about it . My question is " why not before ? " Attacks have happened in trains and small towns too , but no one talked about it so much . " Khan also said that Pakistan was not to be blamed for it , and that the Indian security forces had failed . Khan 's comments had drawn strong reactions from Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Chagan Bhujbal , Shiv Sena , BJP and other political parties . The comments were also condemned by Ujwal Nikam , Special Prosecutor in the 26/11 trial . Khan later apologized for his comments
