Aamir Khan involved in Narmada Dam Controversy
Monday, April 17, 2006
Aamir Khan's support to the NBA (Narmada Bachao Andolan) has sparked off a major controversy across the country. Recently, the superstar along with fellow actors Atul Kulkarni, Kunal Kapoor, and director Rakeysh Mehra joined the NBA activists at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. The actor spent over two hours with Narmada Dam project protestors and victims of the Bhopal gas tragedy.

Aamir Khan, who is currently in the eye of a storm mainly in Gujarat for his alleged comments on the Narmada dam issue, on Thursday refused to apologise for his public support to the Narmada Bachao Andolan. "I will not retract my steps nor will I apologise to anyone simply because I’ve not done any wrong," said the superstar whose film Fanaa is set for a troubled release on Friday.
Khan's comments at a press conference here came even as the BJP said that it was willing to put an end to the row if he apologised for his stand on the dam and the recent demolition of illegal shrines in Vadodara. "We can end this row if he apologises to the people of Gujarat on the two issues. That’s all," BJP leader V K Malhotra told reporters in New Delhi.
