Treat labourers with dignity, they build India: Congress


New Delhi, Mar 31 (IANS): A day after the migrant workers were sprayed with chemical in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly, the Congress on Tuesday slammed the government saying treat the labourers with dignity as they build India.

"Disinfectant spray. Time to sanitise our politics. Not migrant workers reaching Bareilly to go home. They work in factories, harvest crops, in restaurants, hotels, in construction projects, highways and in homes. They Build India, treat them with dignity," senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal said in a tweet.

On Monday, local administration and health workers sprayed disinfect on the migrant labourers in Bareilly after they arrived in the district.

However, after facing flak the District Magistrate Nitish Kumar directed the chief medical officer to provide treatment to those who were sprayed with sodium hypochlorite on Sunday in a bid to sanitize them.

The district magistrate, in a tweet, admitted that the Nagar Nigam and fire brigade personnel became over-zealous in their sanitization drive and sprayed the chemical on the people.

He said action would be taken against the guilty persons.

    There is a utter disrespect to the working and labour class. Unbelievable.

    Even many TV anchors talk as if these people are there on the streets, as if they are on a jolly rides. There are a million viewers and fan club to second such observations and blabbering. The affluent class sitting infront of TV's and computer, cheering the pain what is happening to the working class. Absolutely disgusting.

    One thing to remember, they too are Indians, they too have families. Further, it should be remembered that the affluent class cheering today, will be in tears in coming days. The reason is, when the farming hands are not there, when there are no loaders, no laborers, the food and services what they are getting will not get delivered the way it was.

    It is amazing is there is absolute lack of common sense.
