PM Modi must stop those spreading hatred: Aamir Khan

Perfectionist Aamir Khan urges Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action against those who are spreading hatred in the tolerant country. He said Modiji is our PM and he can only do this.

"Our country is very tolerant, but there are people who spread ill-will...Those who speak of breaking up this vast country, such people are present in all religions, only Modiji can stop them. After all, Modiji is our PM, we have to tell him," Aamir Khan told Rajat Sharma in his 'Aap ki Adalat' show on India TV.

The ‘PK’ actor is no longer the brand ambassador of ‘Athithi Devo Dhavo’ campaign but he said that India is his mother and not a brand.

"For me, my motherland is my mother, it cannot be a brand. I can never view my mother as a brand. It could be a brand for other people, but not for me. Till this date, I continue to be India's brand ambassador, even the government may have discontinued me", he said.

Aamir also urges the media and news channels not to air news about violence on TV as it creates an atmosphere of fear.

"Every Indian is infected with fear. I would also appeal to media not to highlight such violence, as it creates a sense of insecurity and fear among common people," he said.

He wants people to stop spreading negativity, "After all, law is equal for all, and nobody is above law. Unfortunately, there are some people who spread negativity and hatred. If I am not wrong, our Prime Minister has also expressed concern. His slogan is 'sabka saath, sabka vikas'," he said.

On the work front, Aamir Khan will be next seen in the biopic 'Dangal' based on wrestler Mahavir Phogat.
