"The entire production for the campaign 'Malnutrition - Quit India' is ready," she told reporters here. The ministry is now working on the launch date.
Tirath said, "Aamir Khan is currently abroad but he has conveyed to us that whenever the Prime Minister will come, he will be there."
"I have conveyed to him (Khan) that we will finalise a date and that he will be invited. We will see from where we can launch this campaign, be it India Gate or wherever else," she said.
