Issues of migrant workers must be addressed as first priority: Rahul Gandhi
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said issues of migrant workers must be addressed as the first priority and lockdown beyond May 3 should only be continued in Covid-19 hotspots and not in green zones.
NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said issues of migrant workers must be addressed as the first priority and lockdown beyond May 3 should only be continued in COVID-19 hotspots and not in green zones.
Speaking at the Congress working committee meeting through video-conferencing, the former party president said the lockdown to contain the spread of coronavirus was a mere pause button.
"Issue of migrant workers needs to be addressed as a first priority. Lockdown is a mere pause button," he said.
Gandhi said the further extension of the lockdown post May 3 should only be continued in Covid-19 hotspot zones.
"As a nation we need to think of a transition from a lockdown to lockdown only in disease hot zones and commencement of activities in the green zones," he said.
