Finance minister Arun Jaitley at a press briefing on black money brought up Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's remarks on intolerance yesterday, saying Khan had said nothing wrong. "If someone says "there shouldn't be intolerance in the country" what is wrong in that? Jaitley said.
The finance minister said there was an atmosphere of complete peace in the country. "The nation has never been intolerant and debates won't spoil the atmosphere," he added.


Actor Shah Rukh Khan, yesterday,  joined the chorus against "growing intolerance' in the country, saying that "religious intolerance and not being secular'is the worst kind of crime that you can do as a patriot". At a press conference in Mumbai, when asked whether he would return an award '" on the lines of what writers and filmmakers have been doing as a form of protest '" he said, "No one can force me to do anything I don't want to, but let me get a National Award, and then I will return it.' He added that he respected the writers for what they are doing.


Jaitley also said that the government was doing everything it could to get back black money.
