NEW DELHI: Holding the government responsible for the plight of migrant workers who are walking down to their native places in the wake of the Covid-19 lockdown, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday demanded that it take concrete steps so that the situation “does not become a major tragedy”.
He also appealed to Congress workers to help such migrants by offering them food and shelter.
“The government is responsible for this terrible condition. It is a big crime to bring citizens to this condition.
“Today, in the hour of crisis, our brothers and sisters should at least get respect and support. The government should take concrete steps as soon as possible so that it does not become a major tragedy,” Gandhi said on Twitter.
