Aamir Khan’s response to Olympic Torch Relay controversy

As you all know, Aamir Khan is the Olympic Torch Bearer in New Delhi. However, this attracted a lot of controversies among the masses. Over the last few days I have received several requests not to participate in the Olympic Torch Relay. Requests through members of my family, personal friends, people who are associated with the Tibetan struggle, and my blog. I have gone through and read each and every letter, message and post pertaining to this issue. I would like to state that I have the highest regard and respect for the struggle that the people of Tibet are going through. I completely empathize with them. Similarly, I have the highest respect and regard for the struggle that the people of Iraq, Kashmiri Pundits who have been displaced, Kaskmiris in general, and the people of Palistine, are going through. I have named above just a few instances of human rights violations. Across the world, and indeed within our own country too, there are several instances and examples of atrocities and human rights violation, which are still continuing. I categorically state that I am absolutely against any form of violence, and certainly I am deedly upset whenever the basic rights of human beings are violated anywhere in the world. However, I feel that the Olympic Games do not belong to China.
