BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain holds forth on Aamir Khan's 'intolerant' India comment. "A small incident happens in a country of 121 crore people, but it is not alright to malign our 'Incredible India' over the same. No country is better than India for Muslims. We believe Rahul Gandhi should  not teach India tolerance," he said. To Aamir Khan, Hussain said, "Don't forget India made you a star."


Reacting to actor Aamir Khan's remarks on intolerance in India, the ruling 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,' the BJP said.


Khan's comments on growing intolerance have provoked sharp reactions on Twitter with his industry colleagues Anupam Kher and Ram Gopal Varma, berating him, asking "When did 'Incredible India' become 'Intolerant India' for you".


The 50-year-old "PK" star during his outing at an award function last evening in the national capital had said he has been "alarmed" by a number of incidents and his wife Kiran Rao even suggested that they should probably leave the country. Kher, who shared screen space with Aamir in "Dil", "Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin" among others, hit out at him saying, "India has made him what he is".


Union Minister Smriti Irani told NDTV, "Aamir Khan is able to speak his mind, it proves India is tolerant.":
