Congress will pay for rail travel of every needy migrant worker: Sonia Gandhi -Aurangzeb Naqshbandi

-Hindustan Times

The Congress chief said the central government barely gave a four-hour notice of the lockdown, thus denying workers and migrant labourers the opportunity to return to their homes.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Monday attacked the government for charging train tickets from migrant labourers going back to their homes and announced that her party will bear the cost for the rail travel of all such workers stranded due to the coronavirus lockdown.

In a statement, she said it is disturbing that the central government and the rail ministry are charging them for train tickets in this hour of crisis.

“But what is the responsibility of our government? Even today, lakhs of workers and migrant labourers are languishing in different parts of the country and wish to return to their homes and families but there is neither adequate money nor provision for free transport,” Gandhi said.
