The COVID-19 death toll in India has reached to 48 and the total number of positive cases crossed 1400. In this regard, a nation-wide lockdown has been witnessed to contain the spread of the virus. The hardest hit by the lockdown are the poor, daily wagers and the homeless.
Keeping in mind the helpless situation of these people, a 15-year old Dehradun boy named Abhinav Kumar Sharma wrote a letter to PM Narendra Modi, asking him to make it mandatory for all religious trusts, irrespective of which religion they follow, to donate 80% of ‘God’s wealth’ to the PM CARES fund. He stated that the money could then be used to feed the poor and also to treat the people fighting COVID-19.
“I am sure God would be happy to bless us if this money saves God’s children. We all will have more faith in humanity,” the boy wrote in his letter.
