International Airport in the wee hours of 21st July 2020. The flight was fully occupied, with 186 passengers, all of them desperate to fly back to India for various reasons.
The initiative was conceived and implemented under the leadership of Dr. Thumbay Moideen - Founder President of Thumbay Group & Founder Patron of BCF and Dr. B K Yusuf, the
President of BCF. The flight was organized on a purely charitable basis, with all necessary
steps and precautions in place to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers. Thumbay Group assigned its fleet of buses to transport the passengers free of charge from their residences in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman to the airport. The organizers also provided free meals and refreshments to the passengers, in addition to PPE kits and face-shields distributed free of
charges.
The passengers on the first flight included many elderly individuals, people with serious
illnesses like heart-related health issues and diabetes, pregnant ladies and little children as well as people who had lost their jobs and those with expired visas. Dr. B K Yusuf – BCF President, Dr. Kaup Mohammed - BCF General Secretary, other office bearers of BCF, as well as Thumbay Group’s representatives Mr. Farhad C – Director of the Hospitality Division of
Thumbay Group and Engr. Farwaz P. C. – COO of the Construction Division were present at
the airport to see off the first group of passengers.
Commenting on the initiative, Dr. Thumbay Moideen said, “This joint initiative of Thumbay
Group and BCF is to support our fellow Kannadigas desperate to fly back home. We are happy that we have been able to reach out to many of them, to help them fly home to their families. We thank the Governments of the UAE and India, and the Indian Consulate, Dubai, for their support in making this happen. In the coming days, many more stranded Kannadigas would be repatriated under this joint initiative.”
Dr. B K Yusuf thanked Dr. Thumbay Moideen and the office-bearers and members of BCF for
their efforts to make the initiative a success.
“We are proud that this initiative has brought relief to many Kannadigas and their families today. BCF is grateful to Thumbay Group for its support and partnership for all our humanitarian programs for the support of the needy.”
Dr. Kaup Mohammed said that it was a matter of pride that the much-awaited Thumbay-BCF
repatriation flight had been carried out successfully. “Measures have been taken to ensure the safety of the flight and its passengers throughout the journey,” he said. He also thanked all the social organizations including Bhatkal Jamath, BCCI, BWF, KCF, DKSC, Kodagu Kannadigas,
Kannadiga Help Line, Dubai Konkans and KSS, for their support. He specially thanked Mr.
Syed Hassan Razeen, the owner of ARISTOCRAT Travels for his support in the ticketing,
boarding and related processes. On behalf of Milano Optics Group and Maxcare, free gift
hampers were distributed to selected passengers.
The passengers were received at Mangalore airport under the leadership of Mr. Mumtaz Ali - patron of BCF and other distinguished personalities of Mangalore including Mr. Moidin Bava - former MLA, Mr U. T. Ifthikhar, Mr. S. M. R Rashid - President of BCCI central committee and many others. The passengers were transferred to the hotels where they had registered for the mandatory quarantine.

Dear Ashraf 39#,
You mean to say Congress is secular who allowed to demolish Babri Masjid, who allowed and let free Modi for Gujarat Massacre? Congress using muslim vote, never give tickets to Muslim candidate where he can win, Congress play with Sachar committee by not implementing. Lacs of Muslim youths were charged and detained terrorism by fabricated case during Congress rule.
Finally AK Antony gave report that Congress has lost due to more favourism to Muslims.
Who is secular.. could you please look at history he joined hands with BJP for getting CM and he was CM for 2 and Half years and he had compromise with BJP . now u guys feeling so honoured & great that you have achieved milestone after meeting him.. please be not in wrong impression after meeting he will do some favour for muslims.. we have only one trust and belief in ALLAH.. thats all.. and please SDPI dont play dirty Politics in the name of religion...SPARE US

The so called secular HDK once labelled madrasa is the breeding place for terrorism. JD(S) is responsible for the growth of BJP in Karnataka. Mustak you are right SDPI wasting their time,energy and money to honoring this type of leaders.
Good to see Gajni (HDK) of Karnataka forget the meaning of secular whenever is in Power
Guys first teach him the meaning of ???????? and expect anything from him
Y you guys wasting time to honour him
Use the same time to strengthen your Party
Good to see Gajni part 2(HDK) with secular people
Guys should have taught him the meaning of Secular
Coz when he was in power he forgot that.
Don't expect anything from him.
Ver Good move ....JDS will benefit from this for sure....but also other side , DALITS , OBC ,christians and Muslims will be benefitted by SDPI who is emerging as hopeful party with real approach towards people oriented administration despite BJPs Media conspiracy .
Great Move ....secular parties should learn from this ......as HDK accepted that it was mistake to join BJP
Well done guys keep it up
All secular parties must unite to defeat BJP and Sangh which is like mosquito's life depends on other's blood.......
Mashaallha keep it up
Now a days it is very difficult to find a good politicians. Most of the politicians are opportunists and chameleon character. They are playing vote bank politics with fake promises to appease the voters.
Noble cause meet with HDK by SDPI delegates and their purpose of meet was very clear raising voice for \minorities especially Muslims in upcoming annual budget\" NRK cards etc.. this is very important matter for muslims to influence former CM while they are in Assembly session to pointed out above matter.
SDPI always works for Muslim rights.
Well done Team"
The Muslim community has been deprived of all facilities being the largest minority community in Karnataka. Justice Rajender Singh in his report has thrown light into the pathetic living conditions of the Muslim community.
Well done keep it up...
