As a new elected President of ISC, Prabhu’s main objective is to strategically plan and implement his vision through his ABC 5 Year Plan i.e.,
A- Accountability & Transparency,
B- Build a Sound Financial Plan and

so that ISC is recognized not just in UAE, but worldwide as a mascot of the great Indian community.
Prabhu thinks “as individuals, we can do only so much but with the support of Elected ISC Committee members and all the ISC members together, there is no limit to what we can achieve, and in the process, we can truly transform the ISC”. He proudly says, “I have a strong treasury management experience in ISC as well as in the bank which we need now more than ever”.
With his dynamic leadership, sheer dedication and ambition, ISC will definitely be scaling new heights of glory and prestige in Abu Dhabi and beyond.

Mr. naren
By the comments itself we can makout how communal minded you are, at the same time how “manda buddhi you are”. As you mention they subside. C the picture there hand tied. And one thing I don’t understand when onwards buffalo is become your father, what a stupid creatures man, shame on you man, first try to be a human.
These crimes wont stop unless the ruthless murderers are given capital punishment openly the barbaric mob knows they can get away with anything & everything in the name of religion we were better & united under british rule slavery under btitish rule is better than this hatred freedom....
Muslims always want one or the other controversy to irritate survashakthimaan shri Shri modiji...looking at the picture itself we can make out its suicide ...not a loss for nation as they are thieves ...we shud bother about Indians who say bharat mata ki jai...not for Pakistanis ...pappu will go and announce compensation as it is his vote bank ...we must humanity to humans. ..not for cattle killers ...CD again proved it has lost sense as it is presuming it was done by sangh parivar ....
Is there any ONE indian minister or the chief minister who can show to the indians how to deal with these culprits who play with the life given by the CREATOR who will call them to account on their deeds in this life.
Read report carefully. police focusing more on how to curb the protest by villagers and not to arrest the culprits.
Hindutva extremists??? Editor is mad.
Might be thieves. No one will kill innocents.
Shocking. Who the hell speaking of \intolerance\"??? This is not intolerance. This is racist violence and height of terrorism.."
MODHI JI AB KI BAAR KATHARNAAK SARKAAR U HAVE DONE IT ...
This is so cruel, this is happening only in india and burma. this kind of terrorism should be stopped need to send the culprit into jail and sentence death penalty.
