Soon after the first episode of Aamir Khan’s debut television show Satyamev Jayate went on-air that was based against female foeticide, people from all spheres came in support of actor and his newly launched show on Star Plus.

But recently a Rajasthan minister has hit out at the Bollywood star Aamir for sensationalising female foeticide cases in the state, saying the government was already working on the issue much before the actor's campaign.

Minister of State for Health, Rajkumar Sharma said that it was not right on the part of Aamir to highlight Rajasthan as the only state where the cases of female foeticide are rampant. "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," Sharma told the sources.

Sharma said that the actor needs to work on ground level to prove his commitment to the issue."He  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.
