Imran Khan doesn’t favour the new law raising the alcohol consumption age to 25 in Maharashtra. The actor feels that after 21, the youth are in a position to decide for themselves.
The lead actor of Delhi Belly is going to file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against the law. Imran thinks that if people have the right to cast vote and even marry at the ages of 18 and 21, why should they not be allowed the freedom to decide if they want to drink or not.
Imran says he doesn’t endorse nor wish to promote drinking among youth. But what he’s concerned about is the right of freedom to choose for the youngsters who are mature enough to take important decisions like marriage.
Other Bollywood stars too have spoken out against the new law.
Amitabh Bachchan has tweeted: “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 to drink ???? Strange ?!!!! (sic) .”
