Tolerance is a crucial aspect of the Indian culture which has taken in people from different countries after they migrated here, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said here on Monday.
The Minister's remarks come amid a raging debate on actor Naseeruddin Shah's statement on mob violence in the country.
Delivering the 31st endowment lecture of the Intelligence Bureau, Gadkari said unity and diversity is an integral part of the Indian culture. "Justice for all and appeasement of none... It's a fact that an individual is considered great because of his or her religion, caste, language and but his quality and productivity," he said.
