Friday, 2nd Jan 2015, 6:34 PM IST Aamir Khan starrer ‘PK’ has been declared as tax-free in Bihar. Chief Minister of the state Jitan Ram Manjhi announced the tax exemption on Thursday. And the tax-free status of the film has not gone down well with the protesters of the film. Manjhi said, "Our leader Nitish Kumar advised us to exempt ‘PK’ from tax. We have decided to make it tax free to ensure that the poorest of the poor can watch the film that exposes the superstition and fraud taking place in the name of religion." "I would love to watch 'pk' after Nitish Kumar watched it Wednesday and praised the 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 added. Dharmendra Gola, Madan Sharma, Avinash Rana and other activists have questioned that why the film has been given tax-free status.
