Should PM CARES Fund come under RTI?

The Supreme Court decision on the PM CARES Fund evoked contrasting reactions from the BJP and the Congress on Tuesday, with the ruling party hailing it as a "resounding blow to the nefarious designs" of Rahul Gandhi and the opposition party describing it as a "body blow to transparency”.

The apex court has refused to direct the Centre to transfer the contributions made to the PM CARES Fund for battling the COVID-19 pandemic to the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF), saying both are entirely different funds with separate object and purpose.

"Transparency is writ large in the PM CARES Fund," BJP leader and Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told a press conference, rubbishing the Congress' criticism on the issue.

So, is Congress raising doubts without any proof? And should PM CARES Fund come under RTI? Watch to find out what panelists have to say.
