Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said on Saturday that those who speak ill of India need to be taught a lesson. Manohar Parrikar took a jibe at Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan as he raked up his remark about leaving the country and described it as "arrogant". "One actor had said that his wife wants to live out of India. It was an arrogant statement.
If I am poor and my house is small, I will still love my house and always dream to make a bungalow out of it," he said, without naming Khan. Parrikar was speaking in Pune after releasing the Marathi version journalist-author Nitin Gokhale's book on Siachen.
Last year in November Aamir raked up the intolerence debate when he said, "When I sit at home and talkto Kiran, she says 'Should we move out of India?' That's a disastrous and big statement for Kiran to make. She fears for her child. She fears about what the atmosphere around us will be. She feels scared to open the newspapers every day". "How can anyone dare to talk ill about our country? If anyone speaks like this, they need to be taught a lesson," Parrikar said.
