INDIANS ARE STRUGGLING:
The Tamil Nadu BJP State president, in his letter today, has pointed out the plight of thousands of Indians in several countries who are losing their jobs and livelihood following the Corona pandemic.
“There are reports coming from countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain etc. It is sad to learn that our fellow Indians are suffering and struggling in West Asian countries, some European nations and elsewhere.
