Indian National Lok Dal MP Dushyant Chautala today said he would donate his one month's salary to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund for the people affected in earthquake in Nepal and parts of India.
"I will donate one month's salary to the PM's Relief Fund because those affected by quake in Nepal as well as in some parts of India badly need maximum possible help in this hour of tragedy," the 26-year-old Hisar MP said.
The country's youngest MP further said that he would also appeal to other parliamentarians to donate their one month salary for the quake-hit victims.
Dushyant, who along with party MP Charanjit Singh Rori and MLA Naina Singh Chautala, flagged off two relief trucks from Sirsa today, said the INLD has dispatched blankets, biscuits, bottled water and other essential items for the quake-hit victims of Nepal.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu today proposed in Parliament that all the MPs should donate their one month's salary towards earthquake relief in Nepal.
