BJP-backed trade union Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) has sought External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's intervention in protecting rights of Indians working in various projects in Qatar -- the host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
In a letter to Swaraj, the Sangh alleged that workers from India, Nepal and Pakistan are being badly treated and are not getting their wages.
It requested Swaraj to look into the matter and help the affected Indians.
"They are forced to use very unhygienic toilets, kitchens. They are also being forced to work more than 14 hours without any recess. Many of them have reached the condition of starvation and suffering from very critical diseases," the BMS said.
Calling the issue serious, it urged Swaraj to intervene in the matter.
