No nation as tolerant as India: Rajnath responds to Naseeruddin Shah
Responding to veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah's comments on intolerance in India , Home Minister Rajnath Singh Sunday said there was no nation in the world as tolerant as India, PTI reported.
Singh, who was attending the 114th foundation day of King George's Medical University, told reporters: "The tolerance that exists in India, I don't think that it can be found in any corner of the world.
"India is the only country in the world where people from various prominent religions co-exist peacefully… They have contributed in making India empowered, self-reliant and prosperous and will continue to do so," he added.
Naseeruddin Shah had Friday said that the death of a cow was being given importance over killing of a policeman in the violence.
