According to a Hindustan Times piece, a source said, "Aamir has written to the EC, marking officials from the AAP, clarifying that he is not endorsing any particular political party. Lots of supporters of the AAP have used Twitter and Facebook to put up images of Aamir as a supporter of the party. He isn't pleased at all as this campaign makes it seem as if he is endorsing the party."

The report further states that the actor has recently associated himself with the EC to encourage people to vote this election. He has been vocal about the fact that he will not associate himself with a political party in particular.

Hindustan Times contacted Aamir's spokeperson, who confirmed the news. He said, "From day one, Aamir Khan has made it clear that he will not be endorsing a particular political party. He is not supporting or campaigning for any party."
