From First Up, 5:35 am on 1 September 2022

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.
