The Hindu
The Congress and the government traded barbs in Lok Sabha on Monday over donations to the PM Cares Fund, with the opposition party alleging that LIC gave money to the corpus instead of providing benefits to people and union minister Anurag Thakur hitting back at it over the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation accepting funds from China.
During the Question Hour, acting Leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha Ravneet Singh Bittu said migrant labourers and the poor suffered during the coronavirus-induced lockdown. "They did not get the benefits they should have got. LIC gave its funds only to PM Cares. Why is it so?" Mr. Bittu alleged and asked the minister not to give a "political answer".
