In the wake of the Paris attacks, #PorteOuverte started trending as people reached out to those left stranded on the streets.
The hashtag allowed people to seek shelter and a tweet sent by Rohan Singh Kalsi, urged people to seek shelter in “any Sikh temple”.
Anybody who’s stranded in Paris and needs shelter and somewhere safe, any Sikh Gurdwara (temple) will be happy to accommodate #PorteOuverte

Rohan’s tweet has received immense support with over 12,000 retweets since it was sent last night.
People are commending him but Rohan has refused to take any credit for this, saying that Sikhs are there “to serve humanity at all times”.
Thank you everyone for the kind words following my tweet earlier but there is no need. Sikhs are here to serve humanity at all times

At such a time of such immense tragedy, this tweet shows solidarity.
Rohan has since taken to both Facebook and Twitter to says that he didn’t expect such a huge reaction and was simply trying to help people.
Thank you everyone for the kind words following my tweet earlier but there is no need. Sikhs are here to serve humanity at all times??
