Sonu Sood Meets Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray

Actor Sonu Sood has turned to be an unsung hero for thousands of migrant workers who have successfully reached back home with the help of the actor. Sonu has been actively arranging for buses and transportation facilities to help the migrants travel back to their villages amid the lockdown.

A few days ago, Sonu funded another chartered flight to help fly over 170 migrant workers to Dehradun in Uttarakhand from the city, in an aircraft operated by budget airline AirAsia India. The actor has been receiving a barrage of messages for help and has been relentlessly helping the migrant workers.

Despite Sonu’s great initiative, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut raised an eye towards Sonu’s efforts and alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party has adopted the actor and that the BJP was behind publicising Sood’s work on a wider scale so as to put the state government in a bad light.

In his weekly column in the Sena mouthpiece Saamana, Sanjay Raut called Sonu Sood as ‘Mahatma’ Sood and also called him a BJP frontman. The Shiv Sena MP’s views stirred up a controversy and within the next few hours, Sonu arrived to meet Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray at his residence, Matoshree on Sunday.

Maharashtra cabinet minister Aaditya Thackeray shared a picture on Twitter and announced the news of their meeting. “This evening @SonuSood met up with @CMOMaharashtra Uddhav Thackeray ji along with Minister @AslamShaikh_MLA ji and me. Better Together, Stronger Together to assist as many people through as many people. Good to have met a good soul to work for the people together,” he wrote.

Clarifying any misunderstandings, Aaditya wrote in another tweet:  “The CM @OfficeofUT was glad to meet @SonuSood and discussed the work everyone is doing for the people during covid relief. Misunderstandings don’t exist but what does is a commitment to help people.” To this, Sonu replied saying:  “Humanity is above all.”

Reacting to Aaditya Thackeray’s tweet, Sonu replied and thanked Shiv Sena for their support. “Was a pleasure. Thank you for all the support offered to help my migrant brothers reunite with their families” the actor wrote.
