Aamir Khan attended the Ramnath Gownka Excellence in Journalism Awards, which was held yesterday, and participated in the ongoing debate on Intolerance in India. While the debate highlighted some important recent events that has made our environment extremely frightening, especially with the killing of a man for eating meat, Aamir went on to say that wife Kiran had suggested they move out of India for the safety of their kids.

 

Further he stated that, “It is important that those in power strongly condemn what’s wrong,” backing writers and intellectuals who have returned their awards following the Dadri lynching and the murder of rationalists.

 

Aamir who has been awarded the Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan said he was alarmed at what was happening in our country over the last six to eight months, and that everyone has the right to protest.

 

Aamir’s comment on the rising intolerance in India and how it has prompted him and wife Kiran to consider leaving the country did not go down well with actor Anupam Kher who took to Twitter to lash out at the actor.

 

Kher reacted to Aamir’s statement asking what was the solution for millions of Indians and tweeted, “Did you (Aamir Khan) tell Kiran that you have lived through more worse times in this country & but you never thought of moving out.”

 

Here’s Anupam’s tweet
