Actress and BJP MP from Chandigarh Kirron Kher is currently battling blood cancer. She is currently undergoing treatment. But now Kirron and her husband Anupam Kher are in the news for a different reason. Yes, the couple shared a letter on social media and since then both are being trolled on social media.
In the letter, Kirron Kher requested Chandigarh Deputy Commissioner Mandeep Singh Brar to purchase ventilator for covid patients in Chandigarh from Rs 1 crore from the MP's fund. While tweeting this letter, people started trolling Kirron Kher after reading what she wrote in the caption.
She wrote,"With hope and prayers in my heart, I am donating Rs.1 crore from MPLADS to the PGI Chandigarh towards the immediate purchase of ventilators for COVID-19 patients. I stand solidly with #MyCity #MyChandigarh #MyPeople @MoHFW_INDIA @BJP4India"
People were quick to point out and wrote,"Guys, they have not done any charity, please note that it is the money of the people and not from their own pockets, so thank yourself and not those who remember Chandigarh after 5 years."
Another user wrote,"Donating??. This is development fund. Not from Ur pocket. Wish you good health and early recovery.
"A user wrote,"MPLADS is not your private kitty 4m which ur donating. It's the public money which ur releasing for public welfare.Wishing u early recovery."
However the BJP MP soon realized her mistake and corrected the post,"Some people mentioned that I should have written allocated (they are right). It is an allocation of the funds from MPLADS. Thank you for pointing it out."
