Emirate Khader Bhai: Loved by everyone; hated by none

P A Hameed Padubidri, Riyadh-KSA

When full of emotions, words get frozen... That’s what I personally felt when I heard the shocking news of death of my very good friend Emirate Khader. I felt once as if I was seeing a bad dream! Initial confusion about the uncertainty of his death gave again some hope; but that too was temporary as fact is always fact.
 
He is no more among us now. I personally feel that whatever I write about his personality is insufficient. I had good times with him when we were together at a room in Dammam for about one and half years in 2005-2006. I saw a rarest of rare personalities like him in my social, political and professional life with always smiling face and laughs even in his toughest times, with good passion and humanitarian gesture and easily available for any issue.
 
Allah gifted him with such a personality that stamped hundreds of thousands of hearts with non-erasable marks; remembering him forever.
 
He was a Good Samaritan with great qualities and calibres. He was a man of friend-in- need readily available for any issues like labour and other matters. Having a good command over Arabic, he was and effective chap to approach any native Arabic speakers. He never said "No" to any matter and most of the times he was successful in any issue he took up.
 
Most of the new comers to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia used to come in contact with him for any job placements, iqama process matter etc.
 
At the time when none (or very few people) was available for any help, he played a significant role in social and humanitarian assistances. Not only Mangalureans, but also other Indian compatriots and other nationalities in the KSA used to approach him for help. That makes his personality tall.
 
He struggled a lot...That resulted in his two sons graduated in engineering and other faculty. His whole family stood by him during his most difficulty days. He was a great husband and great father.
 
Tears rolled down the cheeks while I was writing on him. Hearts and minds became heavy when I typed each and every word about him. A reel of flashbacks came in mind in abundance while picking each expression on him. He was hated by none and loved by everyone. He left behind a good legacy leaving many in sad and shocking mood.
 
I feel he is still among us and immediately felt sad he is permanently far away from us and returned to the irrevocable call of ALLAH.
 
His father-in-law, Basrikatte Bawaka, who also passed away with him, was also a noble personality. He was a fitting father-in-law to the best son-in-law. Destiny is that both breathed their last together.
 
May Allah grant them Maghfirah and Jannaathul Firdous. May Allah give their family a great volume of patience (Sabr) to bear the great losses. May Allah give a speedy recovery for his wife and children, who sustained injuries in the accident.

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.

Bengaluru, Jan 12: Protesters plan to intensify their anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act movement from sit-down satyagrahas and rallies to street and door-to-door campaigns in different parts of the city.

The street campaigns began on January 1 with 20-30 volunteers of Hum Bharat Ke Log, reaching out to people in Koramangala and Whitefield and explaining the CAA, National Population Register (NPR), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and related issues. They have organised four campaigns.

According to Zia Nomani, member of Hum Bharat Ke Log, the campaign will intensify soon. “Over 200-400 volunteers will organise nukkad sabhas and other activities around JP Nagar and Banashankari,” Nomani said.

She added that though protests began as a medium for people to vent their concerns, more needs to be done.

“We have realised that many people have begun working on their personal documents and want to help them understand what CAA is all about,” Nomani said.

Volunteers will talk to people at street junctions, discuss issues and run signature campaigns. They say: “Our movement is focussed on reaching out to people. Pro-CAA workers too started a door-to-door campaign last week.”

Avani Chokshi, an advocate who participated in a campaign, said though people had a cursory idea about these issues, they didn’t know the details. “It through such campaigns that we can reach more people. It’s important to talk to people who haven’t made up their mind about the issues or are even pro-CAA,” said Avani, adding, “It hard to combat hatred in a short span of time. The movement needs to be sustained.”

Activist Geeta Menon, who has been at the forefront of the street campaign, says they were heckled at some places.
