People of Kerala won’t accept BJP: Pinarayi Vijayan
“The people of Kerala did not accept the BJP yesterday. They will neither accept them today nor tomorrow,” Pinarayi Vijayan said.
New Delhi, 6 August: Thirty-three boys between the ages of 7 to 14 years were rescued from shoe and garment manufacturing units in Wazirpur village in North West Delhi on Tuesday in a raid.
Mr Kailash Satyarthi, founder of Bachpan Bachao Aandolan (BBA) said, “Many major international brands are flourishing at the cost of freedom and education of Indian children and thus destroying their childhood. These brands cannot hide behind the excuse of complexity of supply chain management. They are the principal employers and have to have to be booked under appropriate laws. It should be investigated that, for whom these children are really working.” Almost every child rescued from the factory had a painful story to tell and an eight-year-old boy, Nandan wept when he kept repeating his desire to go to his home. “He was made to work for more than 12 hours a day in a garment manufacturing unit operating in Wazirpur village in Delhi. He has not seen his family since he was trafficked to the national capital nine months ago. The trafficker deceived his parents into believing that Nandan can earn money in Delhi,” said Mr Satyarthi.
These children were rescued in a raid by Delhi Task Force, local police, labour department and members of a non-profit organisation, Bachpan Bachao Andolan. These children belong to various districts of Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Bihar. sns
