Notice to Aamir Khan for not paying land revenue!
“We have to protect its integrity, diversity, inclusiveness, its many languages, its culture, its history, its tolerance, it’s concept of ekantavada, it’s love, sensitivity and its emotional strength”, he said.
Earlier, Mr Perfect has been criticized by many from his country over what he said that increasing intolerance in the country are alarming; and that his wife suggested to leave India. Yes, Aamir Khan’s remark turned to be an ugly debate between a couple from Jabalpur. If Aamir is afraid of living in this country then he should stop producing patriotic and social movies. Shiv Sena offers the 1 lakh Rs amount to slap Aamir khan.
To add insult to injury, Rajeev Tandon, Punjab’s chairman of the Shiv Sena, made the announcement of offering people Rs 1 lakh per slap to Aamir. It was good to see this stand as his interview better situates his stance on the issue of “intolerance” and provides a flavour of his political thinking. The protesters burnt Khan’s posters and disrupted traffic outside the hotel.
The Sangh Parivar should also bear it in mind that the BJP is ruling India today with the electoral support of less than one-third of the people.
First the controversy over Aamir Khan’s “intolerance” remarks refused to die and now a notice by the district authorities in Hardoi for not paying land revenue is creating all sorts of problems for Aamir Khan. “But wholeheartedly disapprove of the idea of India being labelled intolerant by him and others too”, Shatrughan Sinha said on twitter.
In an apparent jibe at Aamir, Rajnath Singh said in Parliament that Dr BR Ambedkar had never thought of leaving the country despite being subjected to insult and discrimination. So, we have to fight them and not leave the country.
The happy takeaway for Snapdeal from this crisis is that it can affirmatively conclude its association with Aamir has hit bull’s eye. Media reports claim that the Snapdeal app has been uninstalled by thousands of Indian consumers as a form of boycott, though there is no official data from the company yet.
