Gautam Gambhir Had Also Stepped Forward And Had Pledged:
The world has come to a standstill following the serious situation of coronavirus epidemic, and lockdowns have been declared in many nations. India is still dealing with the life-threatening virus that develops every day.
India’s prime minister Narendra Modi had declared a 21-day lockdown in the aftermath of Coronavirus to counter the pandemic. Each person has been advised to stay indoors to curtail the pandemic’s expansion. Meanwhile, several famous personalities have come in by donating to the PM-Cares Support Fund to aid in the fight against COVID-19.
Gautam Gambhir has come forward and vowed to contribute more INR 50 lakh from his MPLAD Fund for the surgical equipment required to treat patients with the Coronavirus. However, to his scorn, Gambhir claimed that the former Indian player had pledged to donate INR 50 lakh more for the acquisition of medical personnel equipment and care of COVID-19 patients after his declaration and after this.
Gautam Ji, Thank You For Your Offer- Arvind Kejriwal:
Arvind Kejriwal and his Deputy had taken a dig at Delhi CM by tweeting that huge egos did not enable them to take INR 50 lakh from their campaign. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal addressed the BJP MP Gambhir on Monday and clarified that the issue was not money but the supply of PPE kits.
“Thank you, Gautam Ji, for your bid. The problem is not about resources but the lack of PPE kits. We would be happy if you could help us to get them from elsewhere, Delhi govt will purchase them. Thank you, ‘Arvind Kejriwal answered

That did not stop Gambhir, however, as he challenged the comment by Kejriwal. Gambhir said the Deputy of Kejriwal said there was a shortage of funds, and now the CM of Delhi contradicting his statement by claiming there was a shortage of packages. Gambhir also lashed out, saying it’s time to move, and he’s anxiously waiting for the answer from the CM.
“Arvind Ji, first your Deputy declares funding shortage. Now you contradict him & claim there’s lack of kits. However, 1000 PPE kits are being procured. Please let me know where they can be delivered. Time is over for discussions. It’s time to ACT. Waiting eagerly for your answers # DelhiNeedsHonesty, “Gambhir tweeted.

Within the middle of such tough times, there is no clarification on whether the lockdown will be finished after 21 days or not.
