We will bring back 10,000 Indian workers from Saudi Arabia :Sushma Swaraj
"We can't leave them there. I contacted their (Saudi Arabia) foreign office and labour office. We have asked the foreign office to authorise us to bring them from Saudi Arabia," she said.
“I assure you that no Indian worker rendered unemployed in Saudi Arabia will go without food. I am monitoring the situation... ration has been distributed to all five camps for the next 10 days."
Swaraj said her deputy V K Singh will go to Saudi Arabia tomorrow to complete all arrangements.
“Not even a single worker will stay hungry. Everyone will get food, this is my assurance to the country through Parliament,” she said.
The workers have been in a harrowing situation after being laid off by the construction comapnies they had been working for, due to the fall in the prices of global crude.
