Tibetans demand Aamir Khan to skip Olympic torch relay!


Aamir Khan championing social causes, and eventually getting embroiled into controversies, is nothing new. However, this time, it has stretched a bit too far!

Recently, it was announced that Aamir Khan would be one of the Olympic torchbearers, something that the Tibetan community - in India - has raised objection to.

They have told Aamir to simply distance himself from the Olympic torch relay, that is to be held in China in 2008, so much so that a young protestor went to the extent of threatening self-immolation, if Aamir did not yield to the protests!

The reason cited for this protest is, to express solidarity with the Tibetan struggle for freedom, from China.

We wonder, what Aamir will have to say about this!
