Actor Aamir Khan today joined the debate on the growing 'intolerance' and said he has been "alarmed" by a number of incidents, and that his wife Kiran Rao even suggested that they should probably leave the country.
One of India's Bollywood superstar, Aamir Khan, on Monday uncovered that his wife is terrified after various cases relating to religious intolerance and even suggest leaving India.“I have been alarmed. I can’t deny. I have been alarmed by a number of incidents,” NDTV cited him as saying at the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards.
The bollywood actor whose wife Kiran Rao is a movie producer said he likewise feels the feeling of instability and apprehension has been developing in India since the previous six or eight months.
"When I visit with Kiran at home, she says, ‘Should we move out of India?’ That's an unfortunate and a major statment for Kiran to make. She fears for her kid. She fears about what the air around us will be. She feels scared to open the daily papers each day.
Voicing his support for Aamir, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted: "BJP should stop silencing voices through abuses and threats. It's high time that Central government took concrete steps to instil sense of security amongst people."
Over the last few weeks, in the backdrop of events that have given rise to charges of growing intolerance in society, the NDA government has come under fire from the opposition and a section of civil society. President Pranab Mukherjee has repeatedly reinforced the message of tolerance and unity and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had faced questions on it during his recent trip to UK.
