Imran Khan has decided to file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against the government as he does not favor the new law in Maharashtra that has increased the alcohol consumption age to 25.
He said that he does not aim to endorse drinking amongst the youth but he feels the law is against the right of freedom. He finds it absurd that one can vote or marry at the age of 18 and 21 but cannot decide if one can drink or not.
Imran is not ,alone from the film fraternity who is against the new law. Even Amitabh Bachchan, Minissha Lamba, Sonam Kapoor and Aamir Khan have spoken against it.
Big B tweeted his opinion: ‘On drinking age limit increased to 25! Err…old and mature enough to vote for the country, or join army...and fight for the nation…but not old and mature enough to be told when you are allowed t drink??? Strange?!!! (sic).’
Well, I am with these guys on this one. It is strange to dictate when one can drink when people can vote, get married and do so much more at the age of 18. Does not make any sense. Looks like an intentional act to piss off people.
