Johnny Depp is reportedly looking for work after he was let go from many major franchises

PESHAWAR: A bill tabled in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Saturday sought to provide care and rehabilitation for beggars while at the same time suggests punishment for 'habitual' vagrants or alm-seekers. . According to a copy of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Vagrancy Restraint Act 2020, the provincial government will form an institute known as the Dar-ul-Kifala which will serve as a shelter for vagrants. The shelter will be responsible for providing food, shelter, education and skills training for vagrants or alms-seekers who seek refuge or are brought there. The bill makes it possible for any vagrant to seek shelter at the Dar-ul-Kifala by proving to a Special Magistrate that he or she has no means of livelihood or a shelter. The vagrant will be kept there till such period as he/she is not provided a source of livelihood or applies for release himself/herself. The Act empowers police to search and arrest vagrants without warrant and seize any item liable to be confiscated from them as well. The bill also calls for a one-year jail term or a fine of Rs500,000 or both for anyone who "causes any person to solicit or receive alms". The legislation states that if the court finds a person to be a vagrant, then the said person can be sent to the Dar-ul-Kifala where he will be 'detained' for a period not exceeding three years. The bill seeks an imprisonment sentence not exceeding three years for persons who are deemed habitual vagrants or who have committed offences previously under the same Act.

Salman Khan has had his fair share of controversies and trial. First, he was charged (and later acquitted) of poaching in 1998, and then how can anyone forget the infamous hit-and-run from 2002. Back in 2007, while these cases were still going on, he founded his own charitable organization, ‘Being Human’. Since the timing of it was quite questionable, he still gets accused of ‘Being Human’ being a PR stunt specifically done to improve his controversial public image. In 2016, during an interview with Mint, what he thought about him “working for a good cause being interpreted as a PR exercise”, to which he replied, “I don’t get hurt by all this stupidity. They know they’re talking rubbish. But they need the debates to go on. This has become a business and I don’t think it’s going to die down.” © Pinterest He has never actually directly addressed these allegations. Honestly, he is not usually asked about this topic and when he does, he probably evades the whole subject. But now, in an interview with Huffington Post, he was straight up asked some hard-hitting questions. When asked why people should still idolize him and watch his movies when he has such a controversial and questionable past, he said, “Everybody has a past. Does that make you a bad person for life? In my case, there is deliberate malice.” © Twitter And while taking about how some think that he got away with the hit-and-run quite easily, “Well, the High Court looked into it and they came up with a verdict which says that nothing of that sort ever happened. Ye sab galat hi hai. The courts said it. But what about the 20 years? What about it? Mere toh wo gaye na? And there's nothing to compensate for that.” Then came the most controversial question about how ‘Being Human’ is just designed to rehabilitate his image. “Do you have any idea of the amount of work we do at Being Human? We do s***loads of work on a daily basis. I haven't even put my name there, man. It's Being Human. I am not even on the Board or any of the trustees. The idea is that years from now, people should forget who even started the foundation. You have no idea, man. Do one thing: Come and live my life for one day.” And, after this answer, Salman got up and walked off. Read the whole interview here.
