Hitting out over the issue of job losses in the country as well as the plight of NRIs abroad, the Congress party slammed the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central government stating that it has "proved to be singularly and uniquely disastrous for the country". The Congress leader issues a statement, asserting that the failure of the government on domestic as well as diplomatic fronts has led to an unprecedented employment crisis for our youth and working citizens," he added.
"The Modi Government at the Centre has proved to be singularly and uniquely disastrous for the country. Consistently pulling the country down on all socio-economic indices ever since it came into power in 2014, the thoughtless and mindless decisions taken by it especially during the last three months or so - ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began have wreaked havoc," Congress leader KC Venugopal said in a statement.
"The failure of the government on domestic as well as diplomatic fronts has led to an unprecedented employment crisis for our youth and working citizens," he added.
Furthermore, Venugopal claimed that the decision by the US to suspend H-1B Visa "will result in about 2 lakh Indians being sent back home." "As if the nearly 13 crore domestic job losses were not enough - with many states reaching unemployment figures of 40 per cent, the decision by the United States of America to suspend H-1B Visa w.e.f. June 24 will result in about 2 lakh Indians being sent back home," he said.
