Big B requests UP government to redirect pension amount to charity
Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has urged the Uttar Pradesh government to redirect the pension amount of Rs.50,000, which each member of his family was supposed to get every month, to “any noble charitable scheme or cause that benefits the poor and the needy”.
According to reports, Amitabh along with his wife Jaya Bachchan and son Abhishek Bachchan have become the beneficiaries of the state government’s latest pension scheme, which grants Rs.50,000 per month for life, to people who have been awarded the state’s Yash Bharti Samman.
“I respect the UP government’s honour of the Yash Bharti Award to members of my family, and their decision as per reports in the press, for providing pension of Rs.50,000 per month to each recipient, I am requesting the UP government, with all humility, to redirect the entire amount designated for my family towards any noble charitable scheme or cause that benefits the poor and the needy,” Amitabh said in a statement.
“I shall be writing to the Chief Minister in this regard, in a separate communication,” the 73-year-old added.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
