Sonu Sood: We can't show concern for migrants by sitting in AC

Go tell the migrant workers not to worry because Sonu Sood is there for them Maybe the person acts in negative roles in cinemas but this man is a true nayok hero in the real world gushes a Facebook post written in Bangla by a student from KolkataOver the last couple of months headlines like Sonu Sood offers his Juhu hotel for healthcare workers Sonu Sood distributes food among the underprivileged Sonu Sood to feed over 25000 migrants during Ramzan have been grabbing our attention Recently the actor organised buses to transport stranded migrant labourers to their hometowns after obtaining permissions from the Maharashtra and Karnataka governments He even went to the bus terminus to oversee their journeyI feel it is my duty to help the migrants the heartbeats of our country We have seen migrants walking on the highways with their families and kids We just cant sit in the AC and tweet and show our concern till we dont go on the roads till we dont become one of them Otherwise they will not have the trust that there is someone standing there for them So I have been coordinating for their travels for permissions from different states Sonu Sood told IANSHe further claimed Now I get so many messages and hundreds of emails everyday saying that they want to travel and I have been coordinating nonstop from the morning till the evening This has become my only job during this lockdown It gives me so much satisfaction that I cant express in wordsHe added When I see these migrants and all those who are suffering I feel that we have lost the respect of being a human I cant sleep properly in the night because the thoughts keep coming in my mind The entire day I am reading emails noting down their phone numbers trying to call them There are hundreds of them I wish I could drive them personally to their villages day and night and reunite them with their familiesThey are the real face of India who have worked hard to build our houses They have left their homes their parents their loved ones and worked so hard just for us Today if we are not there to support them I think we dont have any rights to call ourselves human beings We have to come forward and help them with the best of our abilities We cant leave them on the streets we cant see them dying on the highways we cant let those little children walking with them think that there is no one for their parents he addedNot just migrants Sonu Sood has been working relentlessly trying to help whoever approaches him You wont believe my number rings 24X7 I keep getting calls and messages for PPE kits ration et cetera We are supplying food we have made stalls at the highways at Dahisar Naka and other places The migrants who are walking we try to convince them to stop so that we can help them board the trains Also we give them fruits or whatever we can for their journey he sharedI feel it should be the duty of every Indian to help them migrant workers in whatever way they can These are the times when you leave everything behind and come together as a family and you become one nation through which you can spread the message that dont worry this too shall pass Because we need to stand together and make sure that no one sleeps empty stomach in this countrySonu has a major regret that migrant workers in our society are just numbers and not namesOne thing I feel very sad about is that we just say that eight migrants died or 10 migrants died or 16 migrants were killed under a train Why cant we put their names in the newspapers or social media We have to consider migrants as humans as equally important as those people killed in a plane crash whose names are mentioned in the news We need to know who these people are who lost their lives We should know their names and respect them he saidHow does he feel about all the praise is garnering for helping the needy People have been showering blessings from across the globe Its overwhelming and it motivates me to work harder I am there for them I will be on the roads I will leave no stone unturned day and night to be with them and make sure that every migrant reaches their destination To the best of my abilities I will make sure it happens concluded the actorCatch up on all the latest entertainment news and gossip here Also download the new midday Android and iOS apps MidDay is now on Telegram Click here to join our channel middayinfomedialtd and stay updated with the latest news
