Aamir - What he is doing is for monetary gains - Rajasthan Minister

The impact of the first episode of Satymeva Jayate is still rhyming around the world and it seems that Rajasthan Government hasn't been able to get out of the kick that it received from the first episode. This has really tempted the Rajasthan Minister for health, Rajkumar Sharma has openly decided to attack the star for showing the governments its true color. It seems that politics is going to play over this. This is in midst of the appreciation and acceptance to the show - even the Rajasthan Chief Minister Mr. Ashok Ghokel had personally congratulated the star for bringing the subject of female foeticide in the state to light. 

The first episode of Satyameva Jayate had brought out the topic of female foeticide to open discussion, although this was quite evident truth, the episode did help the movement gain public opinion. Aamir had met the Rajasthan chief minister and demanded that judgments pending on cases related to female foeticide be fast-tracked.

Rajkumar Sharma hit back recently, saying that Aamir was doing this just for money and not out of real concern. The minister also added that Rajasthan was being unnecessarily targeted though its performance in this regard was better than many other states.

"He (Aamir) himself has said that he is an entertainer and cannot work longer on one topic, that simply means what he is doing is for monetary gains. If he really wants to work on this issue then I welcome him to work here on ground," Sharma said.

Minister also added "There was an impression that the government has swung into action after Aamir Khan's campaign but to clarify, I would like to highlight that the government is already working for the same. Budget announcements to check foeticide are there and several other steps are being taken," he said.

The first TV appearance of the star is considered to be a massive hit with the first episode covering up 90million views over the television episode alone.
