Friday, 13th Nov 2015, 3:09 PM IST Veteran actress Shaban Azmi took a stand for Shahrukh Khan regarding his statement about growing intolerance in India. The actress is an activist, parliamentarian and crusader. She said, "Shahrukh Khan has merely expressed his opinion, he hasn't broken the law, he hasn't indulged in violence, but speaking his mind is enough for the State to post a posse of policemen outside his house!" She also added, "I've said this before. This is not a fight between Hindu and Muslim. It's a fight between ideologies. We need to have the liberal Hindu Muslim Christian ON THE SAME SIDE against the intolerant Hindu Muslim Christian ON THE OTHER." Talking about her experience with intolerance in India she said, "I respect Shahrukh Khan for his fearless stand. But I've been called a traitor, an anti-national, a woman with Pakistani blood running in my veins by the Shiv Sena, and not a crow stood up for me."
