Mangaluru, Oct 16: In a humanitarian gesture, volunteers of the Indian Social Forum (ISF) – Kuwait, extended their helping hand to an Indian migrant worker, Hameed Islam, hailing from Elanthila village of Belthangady taluk in Dakshina Kannada district.

Hameed left to Kuwait in year 2013 and was working as cook in a restaurant. Everything was fine for the first 4 years. However, problems began when his sponsor closed his restaurant which forced him to join another employer for a new job.

The new sponsor not only failed to renew his residency but also failed to pay him his wages. As a result, he had to struggle about a year in Kuwait without proper accommodation and even food.

Upon hearing his plight, a relative of Hameed contacted ISF officials through SDPI who rushed to his aid.

ISF office bearers with the help of Kuwaiti authorities contacted his present sponsor and made necessary arrangements for his repatriate from Kuwait to Mangaluru.

Hameed who could neither attend his daughter’s marriage nor could take part in his mother’s funeral because of his travel ban from Kuwait expressed his gratitude to ISF members for their timely intervention which helped him to rejoin with his family back in India.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: BJP leader CP Yogeshwar has slammed Yediyurappa supporters and said the JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy is supporting BJP.

Speaking to the reporters, Yogeshwar said, "Congress president DK Shivakumar and Janata Dal (Secular) leader and former CM HD Kumaraswamy, both are Yediyurappa supporters."

"His words seem to support the BJP. All that Kumaraswamy had said, during our government's rule, are happening including the officers they mentioned are being transferred. He has come forward to support BJP from the back door," Yogeshwar.

While reacting to allegations made by CP Yogeshwar, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president DK Shivakumar has said that earlier Yogeshwar requested for State Legislative Council (MLC) member ticket and now such people are blaming me without any evidence. This shows his dishonesty to his party and the kind of person he is."
