Mangalore, January 5: “Globalisation has led to unbridled commercialization which in turn has given birth to a number of problems including the increasing gulf between the haves and the have nots. The student community must raise unitedly against problems of injustice and deprivation,” said Mohammed Azharuddin, national president of the Students Islamic Organisation of India.
He was speaking at a Students Meet at the Jamiyyatul Falah auditorium at Kankanady here on Wednesday.
Mr. Azharuddin urged the students not to confine themselves to just academic activities, but take up the causes of the society. “Youth is playing a crucial role in all the revolutions and uprising in the recent past. Therefore, the youth of today should not confine their energies only towards achieving higher marks. They should respond to the social problems. We should try to safeguard the dignity of our country,” he said.
Speaking on the occasion, P.M. Saleh, general secretary of the organization, insisted that peace and harmony should become a part and parcel of our life. Ashfaq Ahmed Sharief, the Karnataka State president of the organization, in his introductory remarks, said that corruption was the biggest curse on our society and concerted effort was needed to end the menace.
Sayeed Ismail, the city president of Jamate Islami Hind, SIO national organizing secretary Shaukath Ali, among others were present.
The programme was followed by a question answer session.
