Mumbai: Maharashtra Ports and Fisheries Minister Nitesh Rane has defended his controversial remarks about Bollywood actor Aamir Khan's third marriage, standing firm on his "love jihad" comments days after they sparked a political firestorm.
Rane Defends His "Love Jihad" Remarks
On Tuesday, during a visit to the Free Press Journal office in Mumbai, the BJP minister Nitesh Rane defended his earlier "brand ambassador of love jihad" remark about 61-year-old Aamir Khan when questioned on it. He explained that, as a Hindu activist, he has met alleged victims of "love jihad" whose parents told him that men accused of targeting their daughters invoked celebrities like Khan citing their lifestyles and urging the women to "follow the same path."
Rane said it was this pattern, drawn from these accounts, that prompted his original comment about Khan.
