UNITED SIKHS LAUNCH AUSSIE FARMERS DROUGHT RELIEF PROGRAM

Global United Nations—Affiliated Humanitarian Non-Profit Provide Waters Tanks To Counter Act Drought NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA- Following a 24-hour rain period across parched farmland last week, Australian farmers are experiencing a rare occasion for respite amidst a seven-year drought that has ravaged their crops, livestock and means for steady income. In order to survive current conditions, however, economists estimate that weeks of consecutive rain are needed. To support the farmers and their families in their time of need, UNITED SIKHS launched a full-scope relief program that engages stakeholders and elected officials to bolster the local economy long-term.

After surveilling more than 60 farm properties, and covering a perimeter of 1,215 kilometers, UNITED SIKHS adopted the towns of Loomberah and Tamworth for drought relief assistance. Volunteers are presently supplying water tanks and food supply to farmers in these regions through its Aussie Farmers Relief Program.

UNITED SIKHS Distribute Water Tanks to Local Farmers

"Our goal is to continue helping these farmers do what they do best -- thrive as stewards of the land," said Gurvinder Singh Madaan, UNITED SIKHS Aid Director. "Despite receiving record rainfall last week in some regions, farmland across the continent is in such a severe state that crop production could be cut by 50 percent or more in some regions. This could mean famine and long-term health effects, including life-threatening conditions, for many farmers and their families. Our aid program is crucial for sustaining a thriving economy and state of well-being for both farmers and the greater community."

The state government has reported the lowest rain falls this year, with some communities getting at most 16 millimeters in the last six decades. Last month marked the driest September ever for the entire continent. As part of the relief program, UNITED SIKHS is advocating for strategic long-term solutions with government representatives. The organization will continue to survey and identify additional towns needing support for the next phase of relief assistance.

UNITED SIKHS Volunteers Prepare Water Tanks for Ongoing Relief

To date, UNITED SIKHS have organized trucks to serve multiple loads of 13,000 liters of water to more than 30 farming families in Loomberah and Tamworth in New South Wales with support from the Sikh community of Australia.

What Anurag Kashyap tweeted after viewing Censor Board Letter - Manmarziyan

It is quite shocking that Mr. Anurag Kashyap is not willing to understand the sentiments of the Sikh community.

On the one hand, he says, "It was never the intention to hurt the community and why would we do that when we got so much love from them". 

On the other hand, he says,"Technology does not allow us to cut a scene and it affects the story telling. So I definitely can not do that now.

To those whose hurt is genuine, I offer a genuine apology, that wasn’t my intention. And for those who are doing it for attention, I am glad you have got the attention".

And after viewing the Letter of the Censor Board, his outburst was," Congratulations. Here by all problems of Punjab are solved and Sikh youth have been saved. Happy to be back in LaLa land again. Next time you are threatened by a film please call Kishore Lulla directly on +91 98679 66661. Eros knows how to solve matters in minutes".

Thanks to @anuragkashyap72 & Censor Board to accept the responsibility & delete the scenes. It's an irony that when Anurag Kashyap wanted to solve the drug problem with @UdtaPunjabFilm_, it had so many cuts by CBFC but in @manmarziyanfilm when it was unnecessary, CBFC let it go. pic.twitter.com/g8RvLb4h7n

Shocking statement of Anurag Kashyap - Manmarziyan

I am not in India and I have been reading about the Sikh community feeling offended by the smoking scene. This film is not commenting on a community, it talks about individuals and their choices. Every step of the way, we asked for guidance from Sikh people for the film. When we shot the sequence in Gurudwara, we were told we can’t shoot them getting married as it can’t be faked so me made the actors do only “Mattha tekna“. When we were shooting scenes, no member of crew was allowed to smoke inside the houses. When we shot the smoking scene, it was shot on the street and there were close to 150 people watching the shoot. We asked before doing the scene and were told that he has to take the Turban off before he smokes away from his house. We were also shown how Robbie should take the turban off with both hands and how he should hand it over and how the cousin should take it. Most of the 150 people in the crowd were sikhs and we were told that’s how it is. We created what we saw with our own eyes and after discussion. It was never the intention to hurt the community and why would we do that when we got so much love from them. The city of Amritsar opened their hearts and doors to us and everything was done with utmost care. Not a single thing was shot without guidance. We wanted to show things the way they are. No religion teaches crime or anything anti-humanity, yet those things happen. It doesn’t mean they are offending the religion. Manmarziyaan is a story of three individuals and not their religion. I am sorry if anyone feels genuinely hurt but I would also request that please don’t make this unnecessary political because it’s not. I have always put out things the way they are without an agenda. Technology does not allow us to cut a scene and it affects the story telling. So I definitely can not do that now. To those whose hurt is genuine, I offer a genuine apology, that wasn’t my intention. And for those who are doing it for attention, I am glad you have got the attention.

My statement on the brewing controversy.
