अमिताभ बच्चन नहीं लेंगे यश भारती पेंशन

फिल्म अभिनेता और #यश भारती से सम्मानित #अमिताभ बच्चन ने पेंशनलेने से इनकारते हुए #उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार से इसे जरूरतमंदों को देने का आग्रह किया है। गौरतलब है कि #अखिलेश यादव मंत्रिमंडल ने मंगलवार को ही यश भारती से सम्मानित लोगों को प्रतिमाह 50 हजार रुपए पेंशन देने का निर्णय लिया है।

बच्चन ने #ट्विटर के जरिए कहा कि वे चाहते हैं कि उनकी पेंशन की राशि जरुरतमन्दों को दे दी जाए। वे इस संबंध में जल्द ही #मुख्यमंत्री #अखिलेश यादव को पत्र लिखेंगे।

उनका कहना है कि कई ऐसे जरूरतमंद लोग हैं, जिन्हें इन पैसों की बहुत आवश्यकता है। गौरतलब है कि अमिताभ बच्चन के साथ उनकी सांसद पत्नी जया बच्चन और पुत्र तथा फिल्म अभिनेता अभिषेक बच्चन भी यश भारती से सम्मानित हो चुके हैं।

अमिताभ का कहना है कि वे सक्षम हैं और उन्हें 50 हजार रुपए की पेंशन की जरुरत नहीं है। मैं इस #पेंशन को स्वीकार नहीं कर सकता हूं। मैं चाहता हूं कि उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार यह पैसा उन गरीबों को दे जिनकी इन्हें जरूरत है।
