Rajasthan Minister blasts at Aamir's Satyamev Jayate

Aamir Khan's TV show 'Satyamev Jayate' has been receiving applauds nationwide for exposing the female foeticide racket in Rajasthan, but the episode has not been well received by Rajasthan Minister Rajkumar Sharma.

Minister of State for Health, Rajkumar Sharma lashed out against Aamir Khan saying that the actor is just greedy for money and the Rajasthan government was already working on the issue of female foeticide before the actor's campaign.

He told the press, "There was an impression that the government has swung into action after Aamir Khan's campaign but to clarify, I would like to highlight that the government is already working for the same. Budget announcements to check foeticide are there and several other steps are being taken. The government took up the issue much before Aamir Khan's programme. It is not because of him that the government is working against female foeticide."

Sharma further added, "He (Aamir) himself has said that he is an entertainer and cannot work longer on one topic, that simply means what he is doing is for monetary gains. If he really wants to work on this issue then I welcome him to work here on ground."

Interestingly, Rajasthan's Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot praised Aamir's effort for spreading awareness through his TV show.

Like I said earlier this would backfire on Amir big time..
Media who has been worshipping him for the last 3/4 years are now taunting him openly.
When the aura is lost ..all is lost..

IMO, he is doing more than waking up the government. Awareness is a big issue in all the fields. most of the things go wrong cause we arent aware of the consequences.

^^^The uneducated in the most tribal..interior parts in India is aware of the issue..ask your maid,driver..the vegetable vendor..They are ALL aware of the issue!
They will know more about sexual abuse among children than us..is there a person above 15 who is not aware of it..who has not been groped by an adult..at home or outside?
That is why people are so angry at the exploitive nature of the show..

we do know everything but how many of us act if something wrong happens in the family or elsewhere

If Amir was doing this show to really bring out a change, then he would be doing more than just spend an hour a week discussing it. If he was really so concerned why is he doing movies like Dhoom 3 which do nothing but 2 hours of entertainment.
I am a nurse but that doesn't mean that I should only take care of my patient, I do other stuffs too...I don't buy only scrubs😆..he has full rights to do what ever he wants
So he will spend 2 years of his life shooting 2 hours of an entertainment film but will only spend 1 hour per week discussing social evils and shedding fake tears over it?
Just tune into news channels. On every channel there is some debate and discussion going on about how to make this country a better place, but his fans are making it look like his show is the first to do something like this.
I agree on this...sm of his fans are so stupid..they r like he is GOD..sm were discussing about electing him as a prime minister or smth🤣 few days ago
And he is bringing awareness? Will that help eradicate these evils??? I dont think so. Almost every Indian knows people kill female foetuses because they want male heirs. Almost every Indian knows of child sex abuse. HECK, most of us were victims of that as kids. So what will he do with awa reness? Nothing. If he can do something he should do something to eradicate it. And u cannot eradicate something by sitting and discussing it on a weekend show on a TV channel.
atleast he is doing smth..not many of us do...and smth is better than nothing.
amir wants to say this through this show "Look no other star cares about the country but I do because I am gr8!" Enough of this fake publicity stunt to enhance his image.

if Aamir is so concerned about the burning issues, then why doesn' t he do this show for free?

if rumors are true, he is the highest paid on TV with Rs 3 crores.

Aamir could had done any show on TV he wanted. But he chose to do this one. Well atleast he chose a worthy show that makes people think about the issues happening in the country. And why are prople lashing out at him that he is not doing enough? Why does he need to? I think he is doing enough on his part. After all he is not a politician or PM of the country. I guess all of us are responsible and need to do something in our own way for the betterment of the country. But we dont. So why just blame Aamir alone?? I believe he is doing his bit and we should appreciate him or for that matter anybody who is doing something good in their own way!!

if rajasthan government is really working on that issue then why the cases are not being reported, its simple...only when satyamev jayate intervened, the naddas of their pajamas started popping up. and what's so new abt it...we already know that noone is going to praise aamir and grades him typical name calling, which is evident not with outside people but here in this forum as well
