Jasbir Jassi Urges Nationwide Support for Assam Flood Victims
A Call for Solidarity Amidst Assam's Flood Crisis
As catastrophic floods continue to devastate Assam, renowned singer and actor Jasbir Jassi has made a heartfelt appeal to citizens across India, particularly the Punjabi community, to unite in aiding those impacted.
Discussing the magnitude of the calamity, Jassi expressed that numerous families have been displaced, losing their homes, livestock, and means of income, with many forced to leave everything behind in search of safety. He stated, "People have lost their lives, livelihoods, and everything they have built over the years. This is the time to stand with Assam."
He commended the relief efforts already underway by Sikh organizations, acknowledging their unwavering dedication to humanitarian service during crises.
“The Sikh community consistently steps up to assist those in need globally. Organizations like Hemkunt Foundation and Khalsa Aid are performing incredible seva. Our Gurus instilled in us the values of serving humanity, and we take pride in continuing that legacy,” he remarked.
Despite being occupied with editing his upcoming film, Akhada, Jassi has been actively working to link those in need with relief organizations on the ground. Through the Jasbir Jassi Foundation, his team is collaborating with volunteers and groups in Dibrugarh to ensure that aid reaches the affected populations.
“We are facilitating connections between those requiring assistance and the foundations operating in Assam. Our team maintains constant communication with volunteers on-site,” he added.
Jassi also encouraged fellow celebrities from the entertainment sector to leverage their influence in support of flood relief initiatives. He specifically urged Punjabi singers, Bollywood stars, and other members of the creative community to contribute in any capacity they can.
“I urge everyone to step forward. Whether through your time, effort, or financial support—every contribution counts,” he emphasized.
Beyond individual contributions, the Kudi Gujarat Di hitmaker highlighted the necessity for collaboration among relief organizations, asserting that a unified approach would yield a more significant impact. “I ask all organizations to unite, pool your resources, and work together as one community to serve humanity,” he stated.
He stressed that compassion should transcend barriers of religion, language, or region, invoking a fundamental Sikh teaching.
“There should be no barriers based on religion or language. As Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji said—Manas ki jaat sabhe eke pehchanbo—recognize the entire human race as one,” he remarked.
Jassi noted that his foundation has previously mobilized during the Punjab floods and is once again rallying volunteers and resources for Assam. Those interested in contributing or connecting with the relief efforts can reach out to the Jasbir Jassi Foundation via WhatsApp at 9810139792.
As Assam faces one of its most challenging flood seasons, Jassi's message resonates: in times of crisis, unity and service are paramount.
