New Delhi: Days after actor Aamir Khan met Turkish First Lady Emine Erdogan, RSS mouthpiece Panchjanya has accused him of colluding with anti-India forces, with specific reference to China and Turkey.

The latest issue of the weekly magazine focusses on Bollywood, and one of the articles accuses Aamir Khan of being friendly with countries that are considered India’s enemies, while going on to praise actors like Ajay Devgn and Kangana Ranaut for doing “nationalistic” films.

“On one hand, there are some stars and filmmakers including Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, John Abraham and Kangana Ranaut for whom making or acting in a film full of nationalism and patriotism is like showing their loyalty to the country. On the other hand is an actor like Aamir Khan, who does not see any harm in forging friendships with those that are considered enemies of India,” states the article, titled ‘Dragon ka pyara Khan’ (The Khan loved by the Dragon).

The article asks when the audience spends money on a ticket, “not giving a thought” to the religion of the actor, but the same star becomes a puppet of an enemy nation for a “few bucks” and accepts its invitation “shamelessly”, should the audience not feel cheated?

Aamir Khan met First Lady Erdogan on 15 August, and two days later, the Vishva Hindu Parishad had hit out at him, saying the “love of some individuals and actors for anti-India forces has been increasing”.

‘Aamir cares two hoots about sentiments of countrymen’

The article goes on to state that at a time when India is fighting the Covid-19 pandemic unitedly, Aamir Khan is busy meeting the First Lady of Turkey in relation to shooting for his film, and “bending over backwards” in front of her.

It further argues that it is important to understand the manner in which Aamir Khan “shows he cares two hoots about the sentiments of his countrymen”.

“If Khan really thinks that he is truly secular then why is he shooting in Turkey, because Istanbul supports Pakistan on Jammu and Kashmir. The people of India haven’t forgotten Aamir Khan’s interview in which he said his wife Kiran Rao is scared of living in India because intolerance in the country has risen,” it says.

Hitesh Shankar, editor of the magazine, told ThePrint, “This edition of the magazine focuses on the different shades of the entertainment industry, which includes Aamir Khan, the OTT platform, etc.

“As far as the article on Aamir Khan is concerned, the writer has correctly pointed out that while Salman Khan’s Sultan didn’t do well in China, Dangal did (both are on the subject of wrestling). Aamir seems to be the favourite of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) system and the fact his movies are doing so well is an indication that he is being promoted by Chinese state,” Shankar claimed.

“China has complete disregard for Indian sentiments, and it seems Aamir does too. Chinese companies like Vivo have been found violating norms, and Aamir Khan is the brand ambassador of the same company,” he said, adding that the actor pushes fake narratives and is part of the “intolerance brigade” who feel scared of India.

The article wants Aamir Khan to answer to allegations of colluding with anti-India forces.

  1. I think dogs will keep barking, a wise person, ignores and move ahead focusing at his or her work. How long they will bark. They know to cook stories, nothing else they could for the good of the people.The best thing to know is to know what to ignore. Faith, loyalty, nationality, patriotism need not be flaunted on the ramps of the world.

  2. So it is RSS mouthpiece. Not Indian mouthpiece. So that actually makes you the Islamist mouthpiece and actually not a news agency worthy of even talking about India. All you idiots are just blindsided in such bias you are fascist in your own way, not Modi.

  3. We are all proponents for free speech but the speech and actions which are detrimental to nation should be called.

    At macro level the points raised by panchjanya is fair.

    Satyamev jayate is a clear example of that. Most of the discussions were focused on societal practices of ours. Public in general were open to discussion and welcome it.

    On the contrary the show never treaded on triple talaq, halala muttah,ucc of maskins.

    So the public sees the agenda that all the reforms should be for us and not within the maskins.

    Post 2014 these maskin have raised issues, did award wapsi and fear syndrome of the larger design under the direction of vested maskin interest across the border and continue to do that.

    So yes there would be backlash and people will call spade a spade without fear of political correctness.

  4. Looking at the fundamentalist route that Erdogan is taking, Aamir should have been very cautious before opening contacts with Turkish leaders. Turkey is a wonderful country with friendly people, but Erdogan is influencing people to take the wrong path. Aamir should have expressed his protests in a quiet way by not meeting any politicians there or their relatives. Of course he should do the same in case he feels that policies in India are taking an undesirable path.

  5. Aamir Khan is good human being…..He gave a lot to draughty areas in Maharashtra…..Those who comment unparliamentary are wrong….I salute him…see the work of Paani foundation and you will get to know…
