Mangaluru, Jul 22: City based APD Foundation has mooted the idea of giving state recognition and compensation for ‘Covid Saviors’, namely healthcare workers and civic officials who die in the line of duty in the war against Coronavirus pandemic. This suggestion was formally proposed by Abdullah A. Rehman, Founder & CEO, APD Foundation in a letter addressed to Shri Narendra Modi, Hon’ble Prime Minster of India and Shri B. S. Yediyurappa, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Karnataka on July 22, 2020.
In the letter Mr. Rehman asserts that COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread devastation in the country and played havoc in the lives of the common man. In this scenario, the healthcare workers, such as doctors, nurses and paramedics along with civic officials have emerged as the saviors of the suffering humanity. They expose themselves to great personal risk while treating Covid patients. Many of them catch infection and a few of them have died. Such persons deserve to be recognized by the government for their supreme sacrifice.
Elaborating the rationale behind the proposal, the letter draws comparisons with practice of soldiers who die on the battlefield being glorified as ‘MARTYRS’. The slain soldiers are decorated posthumously with medals and titles of honour. Their families are provided with generous cash compensation so that the future of their widows, children and parents are safeguarded. They are provided with allotment of land, lucrative business opportunities like petrol pump / gas agency or reservation in government jobs for their spouse and children.
The letter suggests that healthcare workers and civic officials who succumb in the line of duty should also be similarly honoured. “Hence I propose that healthcare workers like doctors, nurses and paramedics who die while treating Covid patients should be recognized as ‘COVID SAVIORS’. Civic officials who are working for the cause should also be included in this scheme. Generous compensation should be paid to their families so that their future welfare is ensured as if they were alive,” Mr. Rehman has written.
The suggestion has been made in the wake of news reports that the Odhisha State Government has announced compensation of Rs. 50 lakhs and state honours for healthcare workers who die on Covid duty. Similarly the French government has announced a major increase in salary to its healthcare workers. In the same manner India too can provide optimum welfare to its health workers and set an example on the world stage.
“Though Covid pandemic is likely to be a temporary phenomenon, there is a need to recognize the service of those who are helping society to overcome this grave crisis. They inspire confidence in the hearts of the common people in the same manner as soldiers in uniform do. Hence I urge you to accept the suggestions made herein and announce the same at the earliest,” Mr. Rehman concludes in his letter.
Copies of the letter have also been sent to Shri Nalin Kumar Kateel, MP, Mangalore, Shri D. Vedavyas Kamath, MLA, Mangalore and Smt. Sindhu B. Rupesh, IAS, Deputy Commissioner, DK District for their information and follow up action.

Dear Sangeeth, If U carefully reading your VEDAS which says God is ONE and there is no image of GOD. U will use your intellect to know Why VEDAS says so... ARE we worshiping lifeless objects? U will come to the conclution that there is only ONE GOD who has no image where VEDAS is speaking the TRUTH. Please Learn more U can also check thequranproject online.
Learn why Vedas mention NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI - There is no image of God. Y are U worshipping lifeless objects ... She recognized the TRUTH... Now she need to inform her parents to contemplate on the message of VEDAS which says there is only one God and no image of him. Then U will know who needs justice.
I think Hadiya already understood and she is very intelligent to recognize the Cheddi deception of keeping the hindus away from the TRUE GOD.... in Hindu scriptures it is mentioned that there is no image or statue of God. NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI... I request the NON muslims to ask with the HINDU scholars if there is no image of God in the scriptures why are V worshiping the stones, statues (which are lifeless) ? TRUE GOD ALLAH will guide those who are HONEST in looking for him who is worthy of Worship.
She accepted Islam after developing an interest in that particular religion while studying homeo medicine and living with Muslim roommates. Her marriage was happened later through a matrimonial site. Respecting their parents feeling, every individual has the freedom to accept any religion and also to decide their life partner. There is no element of love jihad as sanghis propagate.

If it is not love jihad and their love is pure, why she got converted. He could tell her to stay in her religion and could have married her. Thier aim is different. not love. Its love jihad.
Have to wait what cheddi people will do next.
Love jihad.. Proper love jihad. Father must get justice. Court should give justice to her father.
Cant blame her father. We will tell secular things untill it happen to us. That father must have had lot of dreams of her marriage. Everything got spoiled, even after that also she got converted. A normal cant accept as being father
Hadiya's father is thinking as cheddi people
