Nearly 200 PFI activists gathered in front of the office of deputy commissioner in Mangaluru to denounce the alleged politicisation of the coldblooded murder of RSS activist Rudresh and arrest of Mr Sharif.

PFI Udupi district committee held a protest in front of clock tower near service bus stand in Udupi. Protest meets were also held in Puttur, B C Road and other parts of coastal Karnataka.

The protesters denied their organisation's role in the October 16 murder case and called the arrest of their leader a political conspiracy.

They accused the police of bowing down to the pressure of Sangh Parivar, which had earlier said that it would seek ban on PFI if its involved in the murder case was confirmed.

In a press release issued here, the PFI said that this was not the first time the Sangh Parivar targeting the organisation. “In the part to PFI had faced similar baseless allegations and media too had waged a hate campaign against PFI. However, their allegations proved to be false so far,” it said.

“The Sangh Parivar and media had blamed PFI for the murder of Manjunath in Shivamogga and Harish Poojary in Bantwal. However, later it was proved that Manjunath was murdered in a property row and Poojary was murdered by Bajrang Dal leader Bhuvit Shetty,” the release said.

“In Rudresh murder case too, the Sangh Parivar is trying to target PFI since the beginning. The police have already arrested four persons who have no connections with the organisation. Now, the police picked up a PFI leader just to appease the Sangh Parivar,” it said demanding the immediate release of Mr Sharif.

Suresh Neramballi - an unsung Mangalurean hero in Kuwait

Sushma Bangera

June 4,2020

Kuwait: The Covid-19 pandemic has pushed the whole world into a difficult situation and the situation of Indians in Kuwait is not any different. Many people have lost their jobs, have no salary, are deprived of food and are not able to pay rent. The appalling conditions of labourers, domestic workers, taxi drivers and low waged earners don’t seem to end in Kuwait.

At this trying situation when many people were even afraid of leaving their houses because of coronavirus, Suresh S. Rao Neramballi, volunteer of the Food Kit Distribution at the ICSG (Indian Community Support Group) has helped many tremendously. He was ready to go around delivering food kits at any time possible by his car. However, after Kuwait imposed a full curfew from 11th May 2020, no one could take out their vehicles unless they had a curfew pass.

This did not stop Mr. Suresh Neramballi, who then borrowed a bicycle from a friend and ended up going around in the cycle delivering the food kits in curfew break time (4:30pm to 6:30pm) to all those who registered in the ICSG website. This selfless service surely commands appreciation and applause. Mr. Suresh Neramballi has been a light for many families and bachelors in Kuwait and will surely garner the blessings of them who have been able to eat at this time.

He was also the one who could deliver the food kits to many Indian Muslim maids, bachelors, laborers and families previous day and right on the day of EID, as they were not able to go shopping for their groceries for EID, due to the curfew. They blessed him in EID dua.

Mr. Suresh Neramballi hails from Mangaluru, India and is an Engineer in the Oil sector company in Kuwait. He has been dedicated to social service, achieved 'Aryabhata International Award' for his Kannada Service and Social service, served in many Associations and Distributor of Kannada and Tulu Movies in Kuwait. He wholeheartedly thanks the people and government of Kuwait for his bread and butter.
