However, this argument does not take into account the fact that the Public Distribution System (PDS) is a means of providing food security to the poor. The PDS ensures that the poor have access to essential food items at a subsidized price. If the PDS is scrapped, the poor will be at a disadvantage and may not be able to afford food.<\/p>\n<p>Argument II is based on the idea that the poor do not get any benefit from the PDS because of corruption. This argument is more convincing than argument I because it takes into account the fact that there is corruption in the PDS. However, it is important to note that not all PDS beneficiaries are corrupt.
