Aamir Khan expressed sadness over the trend of political parties giving tickets to candidates with criminal background considering their chances of winning, but expressed hope that people at large would stop voting for criminals.
"Political parties give tickets to people with criminal background because they want one seat in the Lok Sabha. The same people later sit in Parliament and decide laws of our country," Khan said.
"Political parties give tickets to criminals because we vote for them," Khan, who has been taking up social issues through his television show Satyamev Jayate, said.
"As a normal Indian, I am sad about this. I hope the political parties will rise above all this," the actor said, adding that parties are catching the right signal.
"Ultimately, these things will change as people at large will stop voting for criminals," Khan, who exercised his franchise in Mumbai last week, said.
Khan was speaking at the NDTV Indian of the Year Awards function held in New Delhi.
