Not just sending migrants home, Sonu Sood has donated over 1,500 PPE kits to doctors across Punjab. He has also been providing food to migrant workers and has given away his Mumbai hotel for the accommodation of the medical forces.
Speaking exclusively to India TV, Sonu Sood had said, “These workers have names, we keep calling them migrants…they made our homes, can’t we send them back to their homes? Every step they take on the highway, wouldn’t they be thinking that we did so much and built the country over so many years, and we have been forced to do this. It is very important I think everyone has to come forward. You are answerable as a human being, please come out and help all you can to ensure that every single of them reaches their home.”
