Dr Mahathir has been embroiled in a war of words with several leaders over his statement during an interview with an Indian TV channel when he claimed that Indians in Malaysia are not completely loyal.

He also said non-Malays should be assimilated into Malay culture and become Malay if they wanted to claim the country as theirs.

This was after Aaron said, also in a post on X, that his ministry was willing to meet Dr Mahathir if the former premier continued to speak on sensitive issues that could disrupt harmony.
