Aamir during his meeting with Gehlot was successful in extracting an assurance from the CM that he would take up the issue of constituting a fast-track court with the state's chief justice to expedite the cases pending before various courts.
As Gehlot conceded at the press conference, he did not watch Aamir's show, but decided to act immediately after he came to know about its impact. Without losing time, Aamir too fixed up an appointment with Gehlot to keep his promise with the audience of the show.
Under obvious pressure from Mr Perfectionist, as the actor is known in the film industry, Gehlot lost no time in directing his officers during the past two days to draw up a plan for checking female foeticide. He announced an increase in the award amount from Rs 50,000 to Rs one lakh for anyone providing information about clinics conducting sex-determination tests and Rs 25,000 for information on unregistered sonography machine. 👏
On Tuesday, Gehlot tweeted, "SatyamevJayate is a great & extraordinary initiative to root out Female Foeticide. I am eager to have a fruitful dialogue with Aamir."
Aamir, accompanied by a 15-member delegation constituting the members of the programme's research team and the two journalists who had conducted the sting operation, reached the official residence of the chief minister in the evening. In a display of grace and sensitivity, Gehlot was joined by his wife Sunita and son Vaibhav in receiving the actor.
