Amir Khan Says He Will Stand By Words
on Nov 25, 2015
"To all the people shouting obscenities at me for speaking my heart out, it saddens me to say you are only proving my point", says Aamir Khan in a statement issued.
In the wake of his 'intolerance' comments made the other day, Amir Khan has today issued a statement. He hasn't retracted from his words but stated that he would stand on them. His statement further read.
"First let me state categorically that neither I, nor my wife Kiran, have any intention of leaving the country. We never did, and nor would we like to in the future. Anyone implying the opposite has either not seen my interview or is deliberately trying to distort what I have said. India is my country, I love it, I feel fortunate for being born here, and this is where I am staying.
Secondly, I stand by everything that I have said in my interview.
To all those people who are calling me anti-national, I would like to say that I am proud to be Indian, and I do not need anyone’s permission nor endorsement for that"
