Opposition leaders questioned the setting up of the PM CARES Fund to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic by Prime Minister Narendra Modi when the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund (PMNRF) is already in existence.
About:
Some critics pointed out that money was lying ‘unspent’ in the PMNRF. The PMNRF has an unspent balance of ₹3,800 crore as of December 16, 2019.
Opposition leaders questioned why couldn’t #COVID19 donations go to PMNRF? Why was PM CARE created? Why are PM & 3 ministers members of this trust without any opposition or civil society leaders?
