New Delhi:
Actor Aamir Khan's comment that he felt "alarmed" by a number of incidents in the country and that his wife had even suggested that they should leave the country has triggered a major controversy.
Instead of branding all those who question the government and Modiji- as unpatriotic, anti national or 'motivated', the Governmet would do better to reach out to people to understand what's disturbing them. That is the way to solve problems in India - not by bullying, threatening and abusing.
Rahul Gandhi, Congress Vice President
'Can't take the exception to be the rule. Can't be alarmist.'
Nalin Kohli, BJP spokesperson
Dear Aamir Khan. Did you ask Kiran which country would she like to move out to? Did you tell her that this country has made you AAMIR KHAN.
Anupam Kher, actor
Aamir did not raise intolerance issue earlier. Such comments by him may lead to unrest.
Paresh Rawal, Member of Parliament, actor
We'll get intolerance more or less everywhere in the world. India should be the safest place for India's celebrity filmstar Aamir Khan and family.

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.
Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi chief minister
Aamir Khan safe here, his remarks an insult to his fans in India.
Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Union Minister
You can't reduce people like Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan to one community or a particular point of view. They are speaking as individuals who really have shown over the years tremendous concern and patriotism for country.
Shashi Tharoor, Congress leader
Aamir Khan is a national treasure and i am proud of him. He and his craft is world class. If he says something it has to be introspected.
Ashutosh, AAP leader
Mr and Mrs Aamir Khan. When things are going wrong and the system needs correction,repair it,mend it.Don't run away from it. That is Heroism!
Rishi Kapoor, actor
