No Diwali gifts please, says PM
Ahead of Diwali, the Prime Minister has requested that those who want to send gifts to him should make donations to the PM’s Relief Fund instead.
“PM Dr Manmohan Singh wishes to thank all those who have been sending him greetings and good wishes on the occasion of Diwali. He has appealed to his well-wishers to make donations to the PM National Relief Fund instead,” a statement from the PMO said.
This is the first time the PM has made such an appeal. The relief fund is used during calamities like quakes or floods, and also to fund health or education of economically weaker sections.
