Aamir Khan unites MPs in Parliament!
New Delhi: A rare visit by Bollywood actor Aamir Khan to Parliament today saw parliamentarians unite for a social cause. MPs from ruling and opposition parties loosened their standoff on the 2G spectrum issue as they joined him in raising awareness on malnutrition among infants.
"I am happy that all political parties are united on this basic issue and hopeful that they will remain so," Khan said after meeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh..
Flanked by BJP`s Shahnawaz Hussain, Congress MP Sachin Pilot and others, Khan addressed the media announcing his support to the cause. "I hope all the MPs will remain together on the issue of checking malnutrition," the actor said.
The 45-year-old superstar, accompanied by lyricist Prasoon Joshi, also met Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The MPs and staff members were equally excited at Khan``s visit and security personnel had a tough time controlling his admirers as they jostled to shake hands with the actor who was visiting Parliament for the first time
"There is a need to spread awareness on how necessary mother`s milk is for babies," the actor said. He said that MPs of various political parties, who have started the "Alliance Against Malnutrition", had approached him earlier.
"I and Prasun joined their campaign today. The Prime Minister has also welcomed our support," Khan said.
