Thank you but no thank you! India won’t accept foreign donations for Kerala
High-level sources said that while India was extremely grateful for the offers, its own resources would be used to rebuild Kerala. India will not accept the help that has been offered by foreign governments after the floods in Kerala, it says.
In a tweet, PM Modi thanked the ruler of Dubai. Kerala CM Vijayan also offered fulsome gratitude. Qatar has offered almost Rs 35 crore + while Maldives, a country with which India's ties have nosedived recently, stepped up with an offer of $50,000.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor also landed up at the United Nation's doorstep in Geneva to ask for aid.
