We will not let people down: Rahul Gandhi on migrants

New Delhi: Amid the migrant crisis, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi extended support to people who are walking to their homes.

He said “in darkness and tough times keep your strength and we will not let you down. We will raise your voices that government listens to it as they are not ordinary citizens but they are nation’s self respect and we will not let you down.”

Congress lashed out at the government for not giving priority to migrants walking on roads.

While Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi said that “this is the biggest human tragedy and people are walking on roads hungry with their children and dear ones. People are dying on roads and tracks.”

She demanded that UP government should start plying 20,000 buses so that these people could reach their homes safely.

“All the city and district units of the Congress will help these people with full might as this is time of service and Congress workers should stand with the countrymen,” added Priyanka Gandhi.
