What led the UP-Bihar migrants flee from Gujarat?

More than 5000 UP, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh migrants working in factories as labourers have fled to their home state, fearing violent attacks on them amidst unabated incidents of violence targeting them in north Gujarat districts.. These migrants were forced to leave the state amid fear after attacks by the angry mob over the alleged rape of a 14-month-old minor in Sabarkantha district last week. The attack on the migrants has created a sense of fear in the minds of the working class who have traveled a long distance just to earn a living. The heinous crime conducted by an individual has brought the entire community under the radar. The question is how can the entire community be responsible for an individual's act. Rather than attacking the entire community, the representatives should have come together to raise the issue of security of the minors first and not creating a rift within our society.
