People across India offended by Aamir Khan’s statement: BJP

New Delhi: BJP on Wednesday said Aamir Khan’s making it clear that he is not leaving India “covers a wider issue” and wished the actor had been “more careful” about his earlier statement.

BJP spokesman G V L Narsimha Rao said “people of the country cutting across the entire spectrum felt offended by what Aamir Khan said a couple of days ago and the actor’s statement today “covers a wider issue where he talks about about his love for the country.”

On Monday, the actor had voiced concern over growing instances of “intolerance” and kicked up a huge political row with his remarks at a function in Delhi on Monday about his wife Kiran Rao expressing fear for their child in the current atmosphere.
