Claim: Recently, a petition regarding the pensions of politicians has been filed in the Supreme Court.
Fact-check: No petitions have been filed recently regarding the pension of politicians; the Supreme Court dismissed a PIL filed in this regard in 2018 - FACTLY
Verdict: the supreme court had previously dismissed a pil on the same issue, affirming the legality of salaries, pensions, and other perks of mps. in 2022, the madhya pradesh high court also dismissed a pil filed on the same issue. since then, there have been no reports of any such petition being filed regarding the salaries or pensions of politicians in recent times. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
