As a new elected President of ISC, Prabhu’s main objective is to strategically plan and implement his vision through his ABC 5 Year Plan i.e.,
A- Accountability & Transparency,
B- Build a Sound Financial Plan and
C- Compassion & Affection for the needy
so that ISC is recognized not just in UAE, but worldwide as a mascot of the great Indian community.
Prabhu thinks “as individuals, we can do only so much but with the support of Elected ISC Committee members and all the ISC members together, there is no limit to what we can achieve, and in the process, we can truly transform the ISC”. He proudly says, “I have a strong treasury management experience in ISC as well as in the bank which we need now more than ever”.
With his dynamic leadership, sheer dedication and ambition, ISC will definitely be scaling new heights of glory and prestige in Abu Dhabi and beyond.

Swetha and Srilatha, you both need treatment along with education to read the story and understand, nothing will materialize by just barking
In the film boy and girl from different communities can do all types of romance and they can show to the whole world, where is a respected and fast money making business.
But in the real life even just saying Hello is a big crime.
Everyone should take care of their every such action.
This is India.
ITS NOT A SECRET THAT HALF OF THE POLICE OF KARNATAKA ARE CHADDIS & ARE WAITING FOR ANY OPPORTUNITY TO POUNCE ON MINORITIES.
SRILATHA / SWETHA,
Please visit Jacqueline & Smrithi and talk to them & then JUDGE. They are saying they left on their own will. We know cheddi police who target the innocent either from Muslims or DAlits.. & if we believe this police story who deceived people many times.
When we accept such made up news - I think animals are better than humans.. cos humans just rely on false news and accept whatever said in the media without VERIFICATION...
Ahmed Nisar must learn a lesson here. Dont make friends if U dont know them personally... Tomorrow cheddi police will target U for having friends with strangers who may have illegal activities.
Grow up boys stay away from girls who are illegal to you according to islamic laws..\every parts of your body will speak as evidence on day of judgement \"may allah guide all youths to straight path ameen."
@ SWETHA CHINNAPPA ...
SRIILATHA
IF UR BROTHER IS TORTURED FOR NOT INVOLVED ISSUE WHAT WILL BE UR ACTION, TAKE OUT THE SAFFRON CHADDI FROM UR EYES FIRST..
EVEN GIRL CAME BACK AND TOLD THEY WENT ON THEIR OWN WISH
i think the name of the accused police officers should be named in this article....
would also like to know wat the MLAs are doing on this case..... they seem to be busy in only ribbon cutting, attending marriages, going to charity association function in gulf
Police brutality deplorable and condemned. Where is the Muslim Central Committee and Mr. Masood look into this matter.
Totally Misguided, we cant see any hit mark on his body, police should interrogate everyone with whom they get know involved in this. girls reached home safely thank god, if this girls did not return to the house this same person will be protesting everywhere, so please media allow police to do their job, let him face it for whatever he did.
this guy should be punished extreme this s not enough. why he wants to chat with girls knowing the situation in mangalore.
Poor guy, He digged his own grave, keep away yourself from girls.
whats wrong with this police, in india no freedom to talk to girls. serious action must be taken against police.,
nowadays its dangerous to talk to girls through social media, and this boys also cant make them away instead of knowing the fact.
Dear Nisar and all the Muslim youths,
Does your RELIGION allow you to join any groups with girls other than your relatives?
\Then, verily! Your Lord - for those who do evil (commit sins and are disobedient to Allah) in ignorance and afterward repent and do righteous deeds, verily, your Lord thereafter, (to such) is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful\""
