All MPs and MlAs of Punjab Congress will donate their one-month salary to support the Kerala flood relief measures.
The decision follows a directive from AICC president Rahul Gandhi to all Congress members of Parliament and members of legislative assemblies across the country to give away a month’s salary each to help the flood-hit people of Kerala.
Punjab Congress president Sunil Jakhar said he had also directed all party MPs and MlAs to provide the monetary help on priority. Party workers have been asked to ensure that the money reaches the Kerala authorities over the next two-three days, without delay.
Both Capt Amarinder and Jakhar said the Kerala floods were a national catastrophe, necessitating all possible help from every citizen of the country.
