On Saturday, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat thanked Sonu Sood for sending the migrant labourers stuck in Mumbai to their home in Uttarakhand by a chartered flight and invited him to visit the hill state when the coronavirus crisis is over. Rawat spoke to Sood on phone to express his gratitude.
Rawat said in a Facebook post wrote, “Talked to film actor Sonu Sood today on phone to thank him for his humanitarian gesture. He and all religious and social organisations that helped migrants return to their home states have done a commendable job.”
Sonu Sood immediately responded to Rawat’s post and said that, “It was good to hear from you sir. The simplicity and warmth with which you praised my efforts have given me more strength. I will soon come to Uttarakhand for a darshan of Badri-Kedar and pay a visit to you.”
