It&#39;s my request to Mr. Uday Shankar to bring back the show as I would want the people of this country to witness the pain again and stand against it as one team,&#39; Dixit said. The ceremony also saw the presence of several political leaders, including union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni and Minister for Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation Kumari Selja. Through the 13-week series &#39;Satyamev Jayate&#39;, Aamir brought forth startling facts and statistics related to female foeticide, child sex abuse, medical malpractice, manual scavenging and dowry. He followed it up off the screen by meeting concerned leaders to ensure that the problems are resolved. Aamir received his share of praise and brickbats, but he was determined to drive home some awareness.u00a0
