Proud of being Indian, stand by everything I said: Aamir Khan

Aamir issued a statement in which he said that he stood by everything that he had said in the interview.

However, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has said that the government should instead of branding all those who question it and the Prime Minister as “unpatriotic, anti-national or motivated” reach out to the people to understand what’s disturbing them.

And to make things worse, a legal complaint too has been registered against Aamir at a Delhi police station for making statements like, “Kiran and I have lived all our lives in India. That does indicate that there is this sense of growing disquiet, there is growing despondency apart from alarm”, he had said while speaking at the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards.

Ullhas told IANS, “We have certain fundamental duties… which says that we should maintain harmony in the nation. Those who do not feel that the country is theirs should stop pretending to be patriots”, the Saamna editorial said. Here ” s what Aamir said that triggered an uproar: “I feel there is a sense of insecurity, there is a sense of fear… However, given the brouhaha, Aamir felt it was only right to state his stand again. Actors Raveena Tandon and Anupam Kher had also slammed Khan for his remarks.

The company in a statement said, “Snapdeal is neither connected nor plays a role in comments made by Aamir Khan in his personal capacity”. He also said that those hurling obscenities at him only prove his point about intolerance. We have to protect its integrity, its culture, its history, its tolerance and its emotional strength. He is one of your best. Hotel authorities and the security personnel are trying their best to keep the actor out of harm’s way, the Indian Express reported.

“Out of Pakistan, Syria, Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey and Israel, they (Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan) should disclose the name of the country where they want to go”. He tried to convey that the result of this was such, that people including his wife Kiran’s mindset has led to the impromptu questioning of running away.
