Mr. Haneef Khan Kodaje expressed his sincere gratitude to the Executive Members and well-wishers of Indian Cultural Society, Abu Dhabi Sector for hosting a reception to him.

Delivering the key note address he spoke about the party’s recent campaign against the communal terrorism and urged to all to Stand on your feet not on your knee, he said SDPI is not formed for political thrust or self-intended interests. Rather, it formed for the empowerment of all marginalized sections of the society by mobilizing themselves into a political force, instead of remaining as mere vote banks of different political parties in elections. He gave brief presentation about Why SDPI and recent achievements of party.

He said, under the leadership of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, India has introduced a very good constitution, if this constitution laws implemented as it is India will become Super power in world, but unfortunately the ruling governments are trying to destroy the Democratic institutions and the gap between haves and haves not are widening. The major parties, one is indulging in communalization and another one is covered with corruption, until Delhi and Bihar Elections there was no alternative political choice this shows how the people rejected two major parties, it is lesson for us to unite ourselves to achieve our dreams.

He gave various examples of injustice faced by minorities, backward communities, especially Muslims by political parties. He said that the people in India have lost trust on major parties. The entire election process has been corrupted due to communalization and family politics. In such a grim scenario the SDPI has emerged as a strong political alternative, claimed Mr. Haneef Khan Kodaje.

He alleged that all the parties used Muslims as vote bank and since Independence cheated us with false promises and assurances. E.g. non implementations of Justice Sachar Committee report, Ranganath Mishra report, Shri Krishna Commission, Justice Liberhan Commission etc. He said our secularism and socialism is in threat due to grave silence of administration.

He said that SDPI is the party of marginalized sections of India which include minorities, Dalits and other backwards. It is setting its foot out for a struggle to recapture the country’s stolen fruits of freedom, sovereignty and development. The party has put forth the slogan of ‘Freedom from Hunger, Freedom from Fear’.

Guest, Naser Nandawara, President of Indian Cultural Society, Karnataka Chapter, UAE, in his address explained the services rendered by Indian Cultural Society in the Emirates among expatriate community. He said that Indian Cultural Society is a Socio political platform of expatriate Indians dedicated for the welfare of the Indian expats. The sole intention of this Forum is to unite the expatriate Indian community cutting across cast, creed and religion and to politically educate them.

Mr. Majeed Aladka, President of Indian Cultural Society, Abu Dhabi Sector, presided over the function and in his presidential address he said, the communal parties are gaining power through polarizing the voters communally. The fascist forces are disrupting the secular fabric of the nation by spreading hate among the religion. The government is least bothered to curb the communal encounters of the fanatic fascist groups, he said.

He said that an alternative political solution is needed to tackle the situation and to bring the development to all strata of people as the people in India have lost trust on major parties.

A large number of audience and well-wishers attended and accepted the SDPI membership during the event and a question and answer session was conducted.

Mr. Mohammad Sharif, well-known businessman, Mr. Abdullha Madumale, Gen. Secretary, BWF, Abu Dhabi, were other chief guests of the event and Mr. Hashir Chukkabettu, Mr. Arif Madikeri, Mr. Rasheed Nala, Secretaries, Indian Cultural Society, UAE and Mr. Mubarak Parangipete, Abdul Razak, Adyanatka, Executive Members of Indian Cultural Society, Karnataka chapter, UAE, Mr. Shareef Sarve, Udupi Dist. and Mr. Sakib Kundapura, D.K.

Abu Dhabi: Yogish Prabhu K is the newly elected president of Abu Dhabi’s prestigious India Social & Cultural Centre (ISC) and he will serve for the period 2020-2021. ISC’s annual general body meeting and Election for 2020 were held on Thursday, February 27 and the election results of the election were announced during the early hours of Friday, February 28th morning.

In the keenly contested election, Yogish Prabhu emerged victorious. Humble origin and hailing from a small town of Karkala from Udupi district of Karnataka state has never deterred him from setting challenging goals. He belongs to a well-known Gouda Saraswat Brahmin family of K.V.Prabhu Coconut oil mill in Karkala. He is the eldest son of Late Rtn. Krishna Prabhu and Rtn. Bharati Prabhu.  His father and grandfather were freedom fighters who left a profound impression on him and their ideology “serving people is like worshiping God” (Jana seveye Janardhana seve) inspired and guided his life ever since. Prabhu has been a privilege member of ISC since 2003 and has been actively involved in ISC activities throughout. His relationship with ISC spans over 2 decades during which he has immensely contributed in many ways to ISC and the Indian community at large. A banker by profession, Yogish Prabhu is currently working as Vice President, Group Finance & Treasury, First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB).

With some new initiatives in his mind, Prabhu wants to creatively improve the quality of ISC’s services, its humanitarian impact as well as the diversity of its membership. His intentions are always to help everyone irrespective of caste, creed, religion, language or status. 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

C-    Compassion & Affection for the needy

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. His humble nature, leadership qualities coupled with his rich administrative experience will surely help boost ISC’s popularity and meet its challenging goals and can serve people in a better way and contribute to the Indian community at large.
