Its
almost the end of 2020, and if there is one thing we all Indians should care
about among other things is What exactly is happening to PM CARES? How much
amount is collected in the funds? How much money has been allocated and for
what purpose? Who all have donated to it and how much? And the Big question
mark itself, Whether it is public entity under the government of India or a
private entity? These questions are important since the Government has refused
to answer it under the Right to Information Act saying that PM CARES isn't
public authority. This unaccountability towards people for whom it is
constituted comes at a time when the modi govt has been tightening its grip
around NGOs and their fundings. Take for example Amnesty international.
Recently, the ED put a freeze on its all bank accounts prompting the human
right organization to shut its shop in India. The NGO announced shutting of its
offices in India and letting go of its staff, nearly 150 members, in Bengaluru
and Delhi. The Govt is probing Amnesty under FEMA and FCRA Violations. It is
only few days ago that Court granted the NGO to withdraw some amount from its
account. So while on one hand, the Modi govt has been cracking down on NGOs
based for Funding violations, on the other hand, it refuses to provide any
information regarding the PM CARES fund constituted by itself. Today in this
video, we will talk about PM CARES and all the confusion surrounding it in
Detail and Also try and understand why it matters to have more transparency in
funds like PM CARES.
