Sharif Mohammad Survey delivered the presidential address and explained the service rendered by the organization and gave brief introduction of Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI).

Ilyas Thumbay in his key note address said Muslims are under siege in India, not only from parties in the country but also from outside forces, he presented detail account on the current on-going social and political situation in India.

He added that Indian expatriates should be aware of the situation back home and have their say in the political process.

The party has also taken initiative to build confidence among the minorities, especially Muslims, and other weaker sections including Dalits in the wake of the growing incidents of intolerance and discrimination,” he said.

He said SDPI party 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. It has demanded balanced representation of all social groups in legislatures and all administrative bodies nominated by government, in proportion to their population.

Siddik Uchil, Executive Council Member, Berry’s Welfare Forum (BWF), in his short speech appreciated SDPI socio political work and urged all the attendees to support the SDPI to achieve their goal.

Mr. Abdul Rauf, President Dar Al Noor Education Trust, spoke on this occasion, and said there are too many apolitical people in the country, including some intellectuals, writers and opinion makers watching from the sidelines. “They are not getting involved in politics. There is a need for such people to come forward and work to clean up politics. This is the necessity of the time”.

The function was attended by leaders of various socio-cultural organizations and large number of community members. The program was concluded with question and answer session, vote of thanks given by Hamza Puttur.

Mangaluru, May 22: An elderly cardiac patient from Dakshina Kannada, who was stranded in Saudi Arabia due to covid-19 lock-down, has finally reached his homeland thanks to the timely intervention by Humanity Forum Jubail and Indian Social Forum.

The elderly man hailing from Kadaba area of Dakshina Kannada was admitted to a hospital in Madinah. However, his condition continued to worsen due to lack of proper treatment. The efforts by his family members to bring him back home had not yielded results.

Meanwhile, one of the relatives of the patient, Ansari Suratkal, who happens to be a DKSC activist, brought the issue to the notice of the Karnataka unit of the Indian Social Forum in Dammam. ISF contacted Humanity Forum president Zakariya Jokatte, who helped the patient to speak directly union minister D V Sadananda Gowda in a video conference organised by coastaldigest.com.

Humanity Forum also persuaded the Indian Embassy to allow the stranded cardiac patient to fly back to India through Dammam-Bengaluru repatriation flight on May 20. 

However, it was not easy for the patient to travel from Madinah to Dammam International Airport due to lock-down and curfew. ISF not only obtained travel permission for him but also arranged vehicle. Jeddah and Riyadh units of ISF helped in obtaining permission letter in their respective places in spite of travel ban imposed by the police. Madinah unit of ISF arranged vehicle for transportation. Zakariya Jokatte bore the air ticket and other expenses of the patient.
