Ramachandra Guha has posted a media report in which Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said: “lack of sensitivity of states has led to the migrant crisis.”
“The Prime Minister of India, and he alone, bears responsibility for the enormous suffering of our migrant workers. South Africa’s President, who thinks before he acts, gave several days notice to allow migrants to return home before a lockdown took effect,” Guha said in his tweet attaching the media report.
