Aamir Khan‘s movie PK will be exempted from tax in Bihar so that the poor can watch the film that exposes the fraud taking place in the name of religion, Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi announced Thursday.
Bihar became the second state after neighbouring Uttar Pradesh to take this step, ignoring continued protests by right-wing Hindu organisations that claim the movie hurt religious sentiments of Hindus.
Manjhi also expressed his desire to watch PK. “I would love to watch ‘PK’ after Nitish Kumar watched it Wednesday and praised the film,” he said.
Manjhi also termed PK a “must watch film”. “It should be watched by all, particularly the poor and illiterate who have been victims of blind faith, superstition and fraud by so-called godmen in the name of religion,” he said.
