Mangaluru, Nov 28: Continuing their philanthropic gesture towards Indian expatriates, the activists of the Indian Social Forum (ISF) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, have once again helped a stranded Indian reach home safely.

Muhammad Fareed (name changed to conceal the identity), a resident of Mudipu Balapuni on the outskirts of Mangaluru, had arrived in Riyadh last year on a house-driver visa. But the sponsor (Kafeel) did not have a vehicle permit. Hence Muhammad Sharif was forced to sell items at roadside.

He was also forced to work 16 hours in a day without wages. Due to this he was mentally depressed and fell sick. Due to sickness he wasn’t able to attend work and sponsor had filed ‘Huroob’ missing case against him.

Fareed, who was helpless of all these incidents, had posted a message on social media. About three months ago the Karnataka State unit of ISF in Riyadh managed to trace a youth based on his message. ISF complaint with the labor court and followed up the case.

Considering the situation and condition and long-term of this case, ISF approached donors and contacted Indian Embassy. ISF also collected all required documents and provided it to Indian Embassy which was required for legal purpose and managed to send Fareed back home.

Members of Indian Social Forum Sabith Hasan Bajpe, Rahman Tumbe, Shabir Mudipu and Abdul Sabith Bajpe took charge of this case and handled successfully. Fareed’s family thanked members of the ISF.

SDPI district president Athavullah Jokatte, Ismail Engineer, Hamid Bajpe, Rahim Batrakere were present at the Mangalore International Airport to receive Fareed.

Bengaluru, Aug 6: Firebrand BJP Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya on Wednesday said that control of state power by Hindus is absolutely essential for sustenance of Dharma.

His comments, in a series of tweets, came on a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the Lord Ram temple at Ayodhya.

"Dear Hindus, Most important lesson is that control of State power by Hindus is absolutely essential for sustenance of Dharma. When we didn't control State, we lost our temple. When we regained, we rebuilt. The 282 (seats) in 2014 and 303 (seats) in 2019 to Sri Narendra Modi made today possible!", Surya, who is also the party's BJP youth Wing state general secretary, tweeted.

He also said that the survival of India depends on the survival of Sanatana Dharma.

"The Sanatana Dharma, that is nationalism,' Sri Aurobindo had said in his Uttarapara speech. But what does it mean? Along with Jai Sri Ram, the purohits also chanted Bharat Mata Ki Jai - That is Dharmic nationalism. If Dharma survives, India survives," he said in another tweet.

Bengaluru, May 28: A complaint has been filed against BJP Karnataka state president and Lok Sabha member Nalin Kumar Kateel by the Congress Legislators charging him with issuing false information on Coronavirus to mislead the people.

The complaint was filed by MLCs Ivan D’Souza and Prakash Rathod at Vidhana Soudha police station on Thursday.

In the complaint they had alleged that “Kateel has been spreading false information that the position of World Health Organization’s (WHO) Chairman was given to India in appreciation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s achievement in Coronavirus management. 

In reality, the position was given to India on the basis of rotation. India’s stature gets affected because of such childish statements at the international level.”
