The Kerala government Monday decided to donate Rs.five crore for the victims of floods in Pakistan.

Addressing reporters after a cabinet meeting here, Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan said thousands of people were suffering there and so they decided to help them.



Around 1,700 people lost their lives in the devastating floods in 79 of the 124 districts in the country. The floods have caused massive damage to standing crops, covering an area of 1.3 million acres, besides destroying infrastructure, bridges, roads, schools, health centres and buildings, besides displacing millions of people.

Hope its not routed through UN again or any statements come as like"we cant accept it"..

Interesting to see how Pakistanis respond to this.

When Government of India offered aid, the Pakistanis asked for it to be channeled through the UN. Now, it remains to be seen if they will directly accept aid from an Indian state government.

It's a nice gesture. Much appreciated.

BENNY - Why should it be an issue if the aid is to be routed through the UN?

Hell with these communists they are anti national

Why they are playing cheap politics in election year????

What's the need of a state to interfere in international affairs and i think its unconstitutional too.

Also, pakistan don't need any aid or donations anymore as per Riaz Haq Pakistanis are contributing US $ 10 billion for pakistan. He have opened a special thread on it.

Ab ham apna mulk Riaz Haq ke hisab se chalayenge? (And now will we run our country as per the whims of some nondescript Riaz Haq?)

That should not matter to us buddy. We did our job. We should be contented with that.

Pakistan never asked us for aid.If we are willing to help them like they helped us in gujrat earth quakes,we shouldn't bother whether the help should be channeled through UN or not.Good job chief minister.

Is Kerela an independent state?
Why things are not done by central govt.?
any case....IMO, we should return any such offers with thanks.

Kerala govt has no authority to send aid directly to Pakistan. The only option is to get in touch with Pak embassy in New Delhi via Indian govt through proper channels.

How am I to know that your view is seconded by the poor common man on the street whose whole life has been destroyed by these floods?

Why should he pay for your ego and that too with his life?
