If Aamir is suffocated over intolerance, he should release his films outside India: Shiv Sena

Shiv Sena on Wednesday lashed out at actor Aamir Khan for his remarks on intolerance through their editorial, Saamana that he was speaking the “language of treachery” and asked the ‘Khan clan’ of the film industry to explain what calamity has befallen them.

Referring to Aamir’s character in the film 3 Idiots, Sena said, “This Ranchhoddas should explain in which country is he going to live.”

The BJP ally wrote in the party’s editorial, “Leave whatever glory this country has given you, here only…those who don’t feel that India is their own, should not speak of patriotism and of ‘Satyamev Jayate’ (referring to Aamir’s popular TV show),” it said.

Attacking the powerful ‘Khan clan’ of Bollywood, the Sena said, that the Khan community in the film industry wishes to flee the country but questioned as to what calamity has befallen them. The editorial remarked, “The film ‘PK’ which ridiculed Hindu deities garnered hundreds of crores. Was this because the country is intolerant.”

The Sena has voiced that if the actor feels suffocated over ‘intolerance’, then he should perhaps release his films outside of the country. This retaliation from the Sena came after the 50-year-old actor had expressed his and his wife’s fears about the intolerant atmosphere in the country.
