Leader of the opposition and YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has requested the Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj to initiate immediate measures to ensure the safe return of Indian nationals. Nearly 100 workers from Kurnool are desperately waiting to come back home safely, Jagan pointed out.
“The crisis in Libya has deepened further and slipped into a civil war which makes living conditions of Indians and other foreign nationals more dangerous, I request the Union Government to intervene and ensure the safe return of Indian nationals,” Jagan appealed.
Requesting the External Affairs minister to treat this matter as top priority, YS Jagan said that the people who hail from Kurnool district and other parts of both the sibling states are very poor and left their families behind to earn some money. Their family members back home are very worried about their bread-winners.
