PIL Filed in HC against Amitabh Bachchan's Covid-19 caller tune

New Delhi, January 07: In a very hilarious incident,a petition on Thursday was filed in Delhi High Court seeking the removal of actor Amitabh Bachchan caller tune on COVID-19 awareness. The plea was filed by advocates A K Dubey and Pawan Kumar. The PIL has been filed on behalf of all taxpayers who are disturbed by such caller tune.

 

 

In the PIL Petitioner said Amitabh Bachchan is not suitable for “such service”, as he charges money for the same. The petition cites several cases against Bachchan and claims that by the very virtue of those cases that have been filed against or is pending against the actor, he is "not suitable" for such "service" while also "charging an amount for the same.

 

 

The plea goes on to read, “The government of India has been paying fees to Amitabh Bachchan for chanting such preventive measure on caller ringtone. There are some corona warriors who have been doing great service to the Nation and helping the poor and needy people...some corona warriors have distributed their hard earning among the poor and needy. Some famous Corona warriors are still ready to give their service without any payment...”

 

 

 

 

It is added that the senior actor does not have a “clean history” and he also does not serve the nation as a “social worker”.

 

The petitioner also points out that Bachchan himself could not "escape" from COVID-19. " Amitabh Bachhan got affected from the Corona disease and his other family members also became the patient of the Corona disease and he could not escape from the Corona disease.", the petition reads.

 

The petitioners pleaded that the respondent had not engaged the right person for creating awareness on the precautions to be taken amid the coronavirus pandemic. The matter was listed before a Division Bench comprising Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh but the court then posted the matter for 18 January.
