This unscrupulous\u00a0 approach of squeezing the poor labours working in the Gulf countries should be stopped.\u00a0 Last year, the airline companies even declared a hike in the airfare during the period of Haj pilgrimage.\u00a0 This approach should be stopped. Actually, there is an enhancement of Rs. 2000 to Rs. 4000 per head.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"marker_ref\" href=\"\/search\/?formInput=MR.%20DEPUTY-SPEAKER\">MR.
