Huge effort that succeeded in bringing back Indian Migrants home by
Swadeshi Jagaran Manch &
Indian migrants rights and welfare forum
Two months earlier when I touredandhra Pradesh I was moved very much on hearing the pathetic stories of the families of workers who were mercilessly and illegally detained in gulf countries. Secondly I was much immersed by the continuous efforts our workers were doing to associate their problems. Now our state co-convener Sh. Narsimham Naidu and his team was making ini this resect. Now their efforts are Bearing some fruits. After returning from United Arab Ameerat he has sent a report of his successful efforts. Please go through ti
The effort of Shri. Kotapati Narsimham Naidu, Central working comitte member, Swadeshi Jagaran Manch &President, Indian Migrants Rights And Welfare Forum are relentless in availing the amnesty by Indian illegal migrants. He was behind the govt. for more than three months for their move on this issue.
SJM was very aware of the problems faced by the gulf sufferers , we made a survey on the villages that are mainly migrating to the Gulf from the Telangana districts of Andhra Pradesh and a book was released on this issue then.
Amidst this context Amnesty was announced by the UAE for a period of two months from December 4th 2012 to February 3rd 2013 and facilitated the illegal migrants to return to their home countries without any fine or imprisonment. Soon after the announcement we started
our effort by meeting the NRI cell at secretariat and several times we met The Hon’ble Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy.
On 6th December 2012 he conducted a meeting in the press club with representatives from all political parties and Shri. Kashmir lal ji, SJM secretary and the gulf suffering families from all over Andhra Pradesh. That same day he took a oath to bring back all the Indian migrants back to India .
On 24th dec 2012 he met the CM, N. Kiran Kumar Reddy at his camp office and and submitted the memorandum containing the demands and the helpful measures to bring back the gulf sufferers. We got the assurance from him saying “ we will take the initiatives soon” but nothing moved forward.
On 2nd jan 2013 we announced the forum at press club meeting with Shri. Bandaru Dattatreya Garu Former Minister Union Minister for Railways. We named it as Indian Migrants Rights and Welfare Forum, a special wing to work on migrants issues.
On 10 th jan again we met the CM N. Kiran Kumar on this same issue. That day was a mile stone for our efforts at the scene he called Minister Sridhar Babu and ordered him to work on this issue to bring back sufferers. He assured 5 crore budget for it. From that day the work started from govt side. He appreciated our effort and asked us to cooperate the officials. From that day we were behind the minister and the NRI cell incharge Mr. Ramana reddy. We met them many times in their office.
Finally on 2nd feb they announced their tour to the Uae. Minister Sridhar Babu requested K. Narsimham Naidu to go to Gulf before they come and help them in listing out the Amnesty seekers in the Seven countries of Uae.
Narsimham Naidu left to Dubai on 10th feb. as soon as he reached there he found some people having their out date as 14th feb last to utilize amnesty he was aware that govt. may not respond soon so he with the activists there facilitated 14 tickets and helped them. He toured the maximum camps in Sharjah on 12th feb and identified 71 people ready to utilize the amnesty and sent the list to the Govt. for free tickets. On 13th feb he visited sharjah jail he found 40 people prisoned there and sent the report and they availed free tickets soon after the officials reached Sharjah.
From 14th feb the flow of sufferers started to Hyderabad. Every day atlest twenty to forty reached. All around his tour Mr. Naidu identified around 200 staying illegally there and 400 people in different jails in UAE. Before he leaving to India 100 tickets were issued and total list was given to the Govt. officials
He returned to India on 16th morning with twenty migrants with him. He was received by the Minister Sridhar babu and the Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy at the airport.
Our motto is not only bringing back the sufferers but providing them rehabilitation and facilitate them the Govt schemes and help.
