New Delhi: A day after the Defense Minister, Manohar Parrkiar took a dig at Bollywood actor Aamir Khan on his remark about 'leaving the country', Congress Vice-President, Rahul Gandhi, on Sunday, came out all guns blazing against him.
"Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter to slam Manohar Parrikar along with the BJP's parent organisation, the RSS. "RSS and Parrikarji want to teach everyone a lesson. Here's a lesson for you: hate is the preserve of the coward and it never wins," Office of RG tweeted.

Manohar Parrikar, on Saturday, while speaking at the launch of the Marathi version of journalist-author, Nitin Gokhale's book on Siachen, had raked up Aamir Khan's remark without referring to him directly.
"One actor had said that his wife wants to live out of India. It was an arrogant statement. If I am poor and my house is small, I will still love my house and always dream to make a bungalow out of it," he said, without naming Khan.
In November 2015, the PK actor had joined a legion of people who commented on the growing intolerance in the country and had to immediately bear the brunt as the people protested against his remarks.
"When I sit at home and talk to Kiran, she says 'Should we move out of India?' That's a disastrous and big statement for Kiran to make. She fears for her child. She fears about what the atmosphere around us will be. She feels scared to open the newspapers every day.
"That does indicate that there is this sense of growing disquiet, there is growing despondency apart from alarm. You feel why this is happening, you feel low. That sense does exist in me," Khan had said.
