I'm have signed this petition because I strongly believe that they deserve
reaching home, especially under these unprecedented
circumstances. Their ways to home should be supported by the government without
violating their fundamental rights. In last 30-35 days, they have been through
experiences which has challenged their dignity and rights to live and make
decision. I still couldn't come over the fact that the way migrant workers have
been disinfected, gathering of huge crowd at various stations or on road as
they were FORCED to go home with empty stomach and lockdown police abuses because
they lost their job and place to stay, a beggar collecting milk on road and the
space was shared with four dogs (the image says a lot). The cherry picked
support of government to the few, increasing the gap more than ever before and
creating more stronger 'us versus them' feeling of deserving and rights to
exercise what we could, without realising the fact that it is favoured by the
socio-political ideology of the people in power. Any civilized and progressive
society should NOT tolerate this in any capacity. We should do more than
BALCONY GESTURES! India is not just the balcony people but much more than those
and they deserve 'as equal right to live as any other balcony citizen of this
country'. I fully support this 'ghal wapas chalo' petition for migrant workers.
We should not forget that this is NOT what they have chosen. They are demanding
going back home only when they have been asked to leave the company and place
to live, and had no money to survive. There are another group of daily wage
workers who are coming to face the similar challenges because their saving is
going to over soon.
Bring home the stranded migrant workers
