In order to provide relief to the labours trapped in many states due to the lockdown in the country, a railway train is being run by the workers. But the labours have to pay rent to travel.
Now Sonia Gandhi’s statement has come out on this matter. Sonia Gandhi has announced that the party will bear the ticket for her train journey to bring the workers back home.
The Congress President issued a statement saying, “labours are the backbone of the country. Their hard work and sacrifice is the foundation of nation building.
Lack of lockdown on only four hours notice left millions of labours back home. After the Partition of 1947, the country saw for the first time a shocking sight that thousands of workers were forced to return home walking hundreds of kilometers.
He said, “Neither ration, no money, no medicines, no means, but only the commitment to return to the family back to the village.” Thinking of their agony, every mind trembled and then every Indian appreciated his resolve. But what is the duty of the country and the government? Even today, lakhs of labours want to go back home from different corners of the country, but have neither the means nor the money.
