Striking at the Center on the plight of migrant workers amid the coronavirus-induced confinement, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said Sunday that humanity was shown by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to wash the feet of Conservatory workers seem to have vanished now.

In his weekly column published in Sena's spokesperson "Saamana", Mr. Raut said: "Prime Minister Modi had washed the feet of four conservatory workers in Varanasi and showed us humanity. It seems that this humanity has disappeared in the last three months. "

The prime minister had washed the feet of safai karamcharis (sanitation workers) during Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj last February as a sign of respect for his work.

"The issue of Kashmiri gangs being forced to leave their homes and live as refugees in their own country has been frequently politicized. Today, about six crore migrant workers are forced to live in the same way," he said.

"Those who are angry at the cruelty and the treatment of Adolf Hitler with the Jews should tell us what they have done for these migrant workers. If the ruling government is not moved by the sufferings of migrant workers in all states, then this Coronavirus has done away with humanity. " he said.

"And since Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Interior Minister Amit Shah hail from Gujarat, they cannot escape this responsibility," he said.

Raut said they are all sailing on the same boat when it comes to the current COVID crisis and its adverse impact on the economy. "We have to work together to contain the outbreak," he added.
