NZ's Sikh community raising funds for Pakistan floods
Normally when you think of India and Pakistan, the first thing that comes to mind is rivalry... but, they say nothing brings people together like a tragedy. With one-third of Pakistan submerged under water, and 33 million people impacted by the catastrophic floods - the Sikh community of New Zealand has joined hands with Pakistani diaspora to help raise relief funds. Daljit Singh is a spokesperson for major Sikh temples in Aotearoa. He told Nathan Rarere why they came up with the idea of a flood fundraiser this weekend.
