PM Cares Fund: uproar over Anurag Thakur's remarks on Gandhis

A discussion on the PM Cares fund turned into a heated argument in the Lok Sabha, with exchanges between BJP MPs and the opposition leaders.

As many opposition leaders criticised the PM CARES fund during a discussion on the Taxation Bill, Union Minister Anurag Thakur accused Gandhi family of ‘cheating’ the people by accumulating public money by creating funds under different names.

"Nehru ji ordered the creation of Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund in 1948 like a royal order but its registration has not been done even till today. How did it get FCRA clearance?, " he said.

Thakur said the Congress was opposing the PM Cares Fund, just for the sake of it, just how they opposed EVMs & then lost many elections.
