“Will ensure screams of migrant workers reach government”: Rahul Gandhi

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said the party will ensure that the cries of migrant workers reach the government, describing them as the flag-bearers of the country’s self respect. “There is dense darkness and these are difficult times, but be strong, all of us are standing for their safety. We will ensure that their cries reach the government and they get the help they deserve.

 They are not the ordinary public of the country, they are the flag bearers of the country’s self-respect. We will never let them bow down,” he said in a tweet in Hindi. Along with his tweet, Mr Gandhi also shared a video of migrant labourers walking on the roads of the country in an attempt to reach their native places amid the coronavirus-induced lockdown.

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also urged the government to come to the aid of lakhs of migrant workers by plying all stranded buses. She also asked Congress workers to come to the aid of these migrants and urged the police not to use force against them and protect their dignity instead.
