UAE Denies any Aid amid ongoing political row over accepting foreign aid for relief work in Kerala
It was a breaking news few days ago when the Kerala CM himself announced that UAE government has offered 700 Cr for Kerala relief fund. The news became a national headline and the opposition parties got fodder to criticize the Modi government.
The Pinarayi Vijayan government in Kerala is left red-faced as the news is coming now that UAE government has denied that they never offered 700Cr aid to India
UAE fund relief to Kerala: UAE Ambassador Ahmed Albanna has told a daily that the UAE's offer of Rs 700 crore as fund aid was not final as the assessment of the relief operations in Kerala was still underway
There was a lot of criticism that why center has refused to accept the aid from UAE. The UAE ambassador Ahmad Albanna told Indian Express that since the assessment of the relief operations in Kerala was still underway, the amount announced cannot be considered as final. He told the daily, “The assessment of relief needed for the flood and aftermath is ongoing. Announcing any specific amount as financial aid, I don’t think it is final since it is still ongoing.”
According to a reportt published in Indian Express “All that has happened is that UAE’s Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has formed a national emergency committee. The main goal was to look into sourcing out funds, aid material, medicines and other things for our friendly people and friends in Kerala, who have been hit by the unfortunate flood.” Albanna sai
The left Government in Kerala and other opposition parties and many intellectuals were very critical about the government of India not accepting the aid.
Now the question is if there was no official announcement by the UAE about this aid then why did the Kerala CM announced?
What was his intention behind this? Whenever a foreign country announces any aid it communicates with the central government and not directly with the states. Did the UAE government directly get in touch with the CM of Kerala?
The matter is clear now and the opposition need to find answers from the Kerala CM about this entire incident
