On May 5, the Supreme Court of India was hearing public interest litigation on the issue of migrant workers being asked to pay for their return travel home. The central government declined to give the supreme court a break up of the share of ticket fares on what the centre and states have to bear to transport the migrant workers back home. It also declined to submit before the court the amount of money being taken from the workers. India’s solicitor general admitted before the three judge bench that he had “no instructions” to reveal the details. Such is the duplicity of this BJP central government, where it relies on propagation of untruths and disinformation.
