It’s also wrong to restrict repatriation only to “essential” or emergency cases. Let everyone who needs to come back for whatever reason do so. Returning home is a human right for any Indian citizen. Other democracies have accepted this principle in evacuating their nationals. — PolitiTweet.org

It was bad enough that poor migrant workers within India were charged to return home when they didn’t even have money to eat. Doing the same to poor pravasis whose remittances kept our economy afloat in hard times would add insult to injury. Yet that’s what the Govt intends to do — PolitiTweet.org

To do this @CMOKerala must talk to the central Govt & get @airindiain, local airlines& naval ships to offer many services daily to finish repatriation in the next 20 days. They should not charge poor blue collar workers,many of whom have not been paid for a month, for this either — PolitiTweet.org

Had an excellent interaction with NRIs in the Gulf yesterday. One major wish is that Kerala must bring back all registered Pravasis asap so that before the rains start early June & viruses spread, Kerala can be back to normal. Otherwise we will face a health & economic disaster. — PolitiTweet.org

Tragic news of terror attack in Handwara, three CRPF jawans martyred, just a day after we lost five heroes yesterday. It’s clear terrorism is back with a vengeance in J&K. We must stand resolute against these assaults but also demand from the Govt that it have a plan of action. — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats @ProfCong Pathanamthitta for donating contactless infrared thermometers to the Municipality to ensure #Covid19 fever screening in all 32 wards. The impending monsoon will bring along the risks of cold,fever & more contagion. 👍 @AnandMohanRajan https://t.co/AqoF5fRBtu — PolitiTweet.org

The Government's requirement that the #AarogyaSetu app is now mandatory for all employees, public or private, raises serious privacy & data protection questions. #COVID19 must not become an excuse for creation of a "surveillance state" in India. https://t.co/FNh37lDe0G — PolitiTweet.org

This is an important & lucid analysis on a vital sector we all take for granted in good times. Govt should immediately permit all restaurants to offer pickup & delivery services, if we are not to have a spate of bankruptcies. @zachariahjacob @suvirsaran @ArvindKejriwal — PolitiTweet.org
