New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday targeted the Centre after 24 migrant workers were killed in a road accident in Uttar Pradesh's Auraiya, saying that the government can't be a bystander on the migrant crisis and if needed the Army should be brought in to help migrants reach their homes safely.
Senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel said, "The migrant crisis is now as big as the corona pandemic itself. The government cannot be a bystander in such a situation where migrants either go hungry or are losing their lives in accidents."
