stand by my views on this. Yes, I am giving 5 crores to buy relief material for the flood victims of Punjab but who am I to give ‘donation’ to anyone? I feel blessed when I get a chance to extend a helping hand. For me, this is my service, my small contribution. I pray that this natural calamity that has befallen my brothers and sisters in Punjab gets over soon. May God bless.’
