Bhagwant Mann appreciated�a number of organizations, including Punjab Welfare Society in�Kuwait and Khalsa Aid UK, for helping financially.� He also blamed other political leaders for not doing much to save lives of those stuck amidst crisis there.
Close to a hundred people have allegedly arrived in India from Iraq after the efforts by Bhagwant Mann and his team.� He posted online stating that at least two dozen others will be arriving shortly.
Bhagwant Mann stated that he has spoken to over 300 men in Iraq, who are facing�devastating conditions there.� Many of them had travelled to Iraq after taking personal loans, but they have not been paid their salaries for months.� Their contractors have confiscated passports and are barring many of them to leave the country.
