Govt must tax the rich and help the poor: Chidambaram

Home minister P Chidambaram on Thursday in New Delhi said that the government must help the poor, by taxing the top 30 percent of the population. He was present at the function to celebrate the victory of 183 slum children, who got admitted to Delhi University this year. Further praising the civil society groups for initiating projects to help the underprivileged section of the society, Chidambaram also urged the need for further encouragement from society, so as to ensure that the poverty-stricken class do not feel isolated.
