Opposing PM Cares Fund, just for the sake of it, is like they opposed EVMs and then lost many elections. They subsequently termed Jan Dhan, demonetization, Triple Talaq and GST as bad. They find defect in everything, truth is their intention is bad," he said."When you come to discussion for PM CARES, please do read the PM National Relief Fund. In 1948, then PM Nehruji ordered the creation of Prime Minister's National Relief Fund like a royal order. From 1948 till today, it was not registered. How did it get FCRA clearance? The trust is not registered. PM CARES is a registered public charitable trust. This is for 130 crore people, you created a trust for the Gandhi family. Nehru, Sonia Gandhi were members of the PM National Relief Fund. This should be discussed," he said.Soon after Thakur's remark, Congress and Trinamool Congress members raised a strong protest and demanded an apology from Thakur.Speaker Om Birla urged members to allow the House to function normally but the din continued and he adjourned it for about half-an-hour.When the House reassembled, opposition members continued their protest and raised slogans in support of their demand for an apology from Thakur.Rama Devi, who was in the chair, adjourned it till 5 pm.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
