The winter session of Parliament promises to begin with a bang on Thursday. The Congress has given notice for a discussion on intolerance in the Lok Sabha, says leader of the opposition in the lower house, Mallikarjun Kharge. 


The party move comes in the aftermath of the Aamir Khan's statement at an award ceremony yesterday, where he said he was "alarmed" by a number of incidences and his wife Kiran Rao had wondered if they should move out of India.


He also virtually supported those returning their awards, saying one of the ways for creative people to express their dissatisfaction or disappointment is to return their awards.


The BJP said there was little truth to Khan's remarks and that India was, is, and always will be a tolerant nation. "Moving out of the nation, is an individual's choice," party spokesperson Nalin Kohli said.


BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain added that some isolated extreme incidents should not be allowed to define India and took a dig at Aamir Khan wife's suggestion to leave India. "Don't forget India made you a star," Hussain said.
