Claim: Update : The Chief Minister of Punjab, Bhagwant Mann has announced that the pension formula for Punjab's MLAs will be changed so that MLAs will now be eligible for only one pension, and the money saved will be used to benefit the people of Punjab.
Fact-check: AAP government in Punjab did not cancel pensions for former MLAs and Ministers but announced 'one MLA one Pension' - FACTLY
Verdict: there are reports about aap government in punjab is plannning at discontinuing the multiple pensions available for former mlas. instead, the government is mulling over the idea of 'one mla one pension'. however, the government has not yet made any official statement or passed any orders in this regard. moreover the concept of 'one mla one pension' does not mean a complete ban on pensions for former mlas, but it intends to do away with multiple pensions for an individual. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
