NEW DELHI – Indian government has adopted a radical approach even in conferring the Padma Bhushan award.
The award has been given to all those who spoke against Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan.
Legendary actor Kader Khan has stated that in pretext of the people receiving the award, it’s good that he has not been given the honor.
Actor Anupam Kher, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar and folk singer Malini Awasthi are among the Padma recipients.
All of them took out a rally in favour of the government over Shah Rukh and Aamir’s intolerance statement.
Speaking at the eighth edition of the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards, Aamir Khan stated that he was alarmed at the growing communal tensions in the country and his wife was worried about children’s security. He said that his wife had suggested him to leave India.
"When I go home and talk to Kiran (Aamir s wife), for the first time she says, Should we move out of India? " Khan said.
This statement angered the extremists so much that they came out on roads, protesting against Aamir Khan’s harmless statement, and surrounded his house.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was also caught in the cross hairs of extremists yet again as leader of Hindu extremist organization Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) Sadhu Parachi alleged that the Indian star is a ‘Pakistani agent’.
Shah Rukh Khan had spoken out against the wave of intolerance that is spreading in India like wildfire in the recent past.
