New Delhi: The Congress on Tuesday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his absence of empathy towards migrants, alleging that his address, in which he announced a Rs 20 lakh crore package, "only gave a headline to media'.
Congress Chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, in a statement, said: "What you said today gives the country and the media a HEADLINE.
"When the 'blank page' is filled with 'Heartfelt Help of People', the Nation & Congress Party will respond," he added.
Stressing that the "mammoth heart breaking human tragedy of migrant workers walking back home needed compassion, care and safe return", Surjewala said: "India is deeply disappointed by your utter lack of empathy, sensitivity and failure to address the woes of millions of migrant workers."
