Bollywood actor-producer Aamir Khan says corruption is an evil that every human being needs to weed out of his or her system to have a larger impact on the country's progress.
The actor, who spoke during a session at a TV show, asked the audience, "How many people pay taxes honestly. Those who do not pay taxes to the government are traitors to the country. Corruption is not prevalent in just Members of Parliament, but it is there in every human being.
"There is no point in changing our MPs every five years. Instead, we should first introspect and correct ourselves to improve the status of the country."
Aamir, who hosts
Satyamev Jayate, a show where he shares startling facts and figures about socially relevant matters, also said, "If we want to do something for society then we do not need to become social workers nor do we need to make an NGO".
The third season of his show is set to air on Star Plus.
