Just read an article titled "No social work, Aamir Khan making money from Satyamev Jayate: Rajasthan Minister". Here's my take on it.
Article: Rajasthan Health Minister Dr Rajkumar Sharma lashed out at actor Aamir Khan for his campaign against female foeticide through his maiden TV venture Satyamev Jayate. In a statement, the State Health Minister accused Aamir Khan for sensitizing the female foeticide issue for just monetary gain and publicity. “The actor has been charging Rs 3 crore for the single episode and he has already made4 over Rs 20 crore,” Sharma told media persons.
Me: Aamir Khan is an actor/producer and is in the show business. It's his job to make money, nothing wrong in it. But through his cause if he's able to spread awareness, and even a few people change due to him or become a part of this social activity, that would be a great achievement. And he's not doing anything illegal.
Article:The health mistier also said that Aamir Khan would not be the part of campaign against the illegal killing of females in womb. His statement came after Aamir Khan met Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to set up fast track court for speedy trial of foeticide cases. Interestingly, the chief minister praised the actor’s effort for spreading awareness through the show but his cabinet minster accused him for defaming the state on the issue of illegal abortion. Sharma said that the state government has been working sincerely to curb the social taboo speedily.
Me: It would have been better for the Health Minister if he joined hands with Aamir Khan and the Chief Minister, who agrees with Aamir Khan, in this campaign. Even there are positive results, it would even help him in the next elections, not only him but his Chief Minister and his party too. Looks like the Health Minister is not happy because he was not invited by Aamir Khan or because he himself has been unsuccessful in curbing this problem though he claims that his government has been working sincerely.
Me: needless to say, I fully support Aamir Khan in his campaign to create awareness, and happy that it has started showing some effect. Rajasthan Chief Minister has announced "setting up of fast track court", and "Rajasthan High Court has approved it". Now the only thing remaining are the results. I request Aamir Khan to not just leave this campaign after the show ends on television, but follow up on this issue and get justice. Only then his campaign will be a success. Share your thoughts on this.
