PaiN_KiLLeR Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Unfortunately they are donating the money to the CM's relief fund which is a total waste. It will only reach the pockets of corrupt babus & politicians & not the blast victims. They should have donated it to some of the NGO's out there (one's which arent owned by politicians).
