Mangaluru, Oct 16: In a humanitarian gesture, volunteers of the Indian Social Forum (ISF) – Kuwait, extended their helping hand to an Indian migrant worker, Hameed Islam, hailing from Elanthila village of Belthangady taluk in Dakshina Kannada district.

Hameed left to Kuwait in year 2013 and was working as cook in a restaurant. Everything was fine for the first 4 years. However, problems began when his sponsor closed his restaurant which forced him to join another employer for a new job.

The new sponsor not only failed to renew his residency but also failed to pay him his wages. As a result, he had to struggle about a year in Kuwait without proper accommodation and even food.

Upon hearing his plight, a relative of Hameed contacted ISF officials through SDPI who rushed to his aid.

ISF office bearers with the help of Kuwaiti authorities contacted his present sponsor and made necessary arrangements for his repatriate from Kuwait to Mangaluru.

Hameed who could neither attend his daughter’s marriage nor could take part in his mother’s funeral because of his travel ban from Kuwait expressed his gratitude to ISF members for their timely intervention which helped him to rejoin with his family back in India.

Bengaluru, Apr 29: Janata Dal-Secular leader and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday accused the central government of writing off loans of those who are facing charges of fraud.

In a series of tweets, Kumaraswamy slammed the central government.

"Really? At a time when the whole world is worried about unprecedented economic emergency, writing off Rs 68,000 crore loans of willful big fish defaulters became the best antidote to the economic crisis? And how is 50k cr package to mutual funds going to help the common man?" he tweeted.

In another tweet, Kumaraswamy said that "Billionaire scamsters like Vijay Mallya, Mehul Choksy, Sanjay Junjunwala seem to be very dear to this government".

"Na khaunga, na khane dunga" is yet another jumla unraveled. Billionaire scamsters like Vijay Malya, Mehul Choksy, Sanjay Junjunwala seem to be very dear to this government. The poor are dying by the roadside, farmers are desperate, the middle class is faced with economic doom.

The government has done little to help. But it writes off loans of those who are facing charges of fraud! What patriotism! What nationalism!" he tweeted.
