It is pertinent
to mention here that during the Coronation period, when every man was thinking
of saving himself, in that hour of difficulty, Iqbal Singh Bhatti, a prominent
French social worker, was visiting hospitals to save the lives of the people.
From March to June 2020, he cremated eleven
Indians with his own hands and saved lives
of forty Indians by providing timely treatment to them, which is a record in
itself.
Sardar Bhatti has sent 177 bodies from 2003
till date, of which 82 have been sent to India with the help of the Indian
Embassy and the rest with the help of the Sikh community in France. In
addition, 253 illegal Indians have been voluntarily repatriated to India by
their parents, including 11 crippled, lame and blind people.
According to the
French Sikhs, Bhatti really deserved this honor Despite being fifty-five years
old and a diabetic, he has rendered selfless service to humanity at the risk of
his own life which can never be forgotten.
