The Khan Market Traders' Association sent a legal notice to Salman Khan on Friday over usage of the name 'Khan Market' in his online shopping portal khanmarketonline.com, which the actor launched on his birthday in December
The association president, Sanjiv Mehra said legal action will be taken if the name is not withdrawn within seven days. Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) had sent a letter to Salman Khan in the first week of January requesting him to withdraw the name.
"The actor hasn't responded, thus disappointing the trading community," said Praveen Khandelwal, secretary general, CAIT. The association accused him of "fraudulent intention in using the name of Khan Market with a tendency to cause confusion and deception among members of trade, and commerce, customers and the public in general."
The notice elaborates that the name 'Khan Market' has been with the traders for long and they have earned this goodwill over 65 years. "There will be confusion about the portal as it will suggest that it is being run by the traders of Khan Market or is endorsed and sponsored by them, which is not true," said a statement from the association.
CAIT national president BC Bhartia said Khan was trying to hijack the heritage of the market. "He is trying to link his legacy with veteran freedom fighter Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan in whose honour the market was named. This is not only just a commercial market but also an institution. Therefore, no one should attempt to encroach upon such a public asset," he said.
