Minister of Minority Affairs K Rahman Khan who recently made controversial statement that Muslim community doesn't recognize existence of terror group Indian Mujahideen thanked Indian media for giving him a free publicity.

"I really want to thank you for giving such importance to my rubbish statement and made it a nationwide issue. It is always pleasant watching peaceful Indians irking over some stupid and paltry topic. Thanks to our media, even people like me who are seating in garbage gets some significance," said Khan, expressing his gratitude towards Indian media over discussing his statement.

Rahman Khan also thanked Arnab Goswami over representing the nation asking him the reason why he made such stupid and hopeless statement.

"Thanks Arnab for your coverage on News Hour. I saw your show. It was really entertaining and funny and icing on the cake was that each time whenever you start yelling on me my importance was increasing. Wow!"
