This refers to the article, “A ‘thinking actor’ and his thoughtless remark” (December 2) by Rajesh Singh. Actor Aamir Khan’s revelation smacked of a lack of faith in his country. What irked people the most was that those, who have been raising their voice against the growing intolerance in the country, did not utter a word when many gruesome acts happened in the past.

If there was no intolerance when TJ Joseph’s hand was cut off, what made Aamir Khan to complain about rising intoleranceIJ
