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, Jan 10: Working President of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, Eashwar Khandre on Friday said that his party has extended its support to the demand made by the former chief minister of Karnataka, HD Kumaraswamy, that a House Committee should be formed to probe into Mangaluru violence.

Emphasising the need for a judicial probe into the incident, Khandre said, "Congress has always said that the truth should prevail and that there should be a judicial inquiry and investigation by a sitting Supreme Court judge or a High Court judge into the incident."

"We support his (HD Kumaraswamy) statement that a House Committee should be set up to probe into the incident of Mangaluru violence. Two innocent people lost their lives during the anti-CAA protest, it is very unfortunate," he added.

Two people were killed in Mangaluru in the alleged police firing after protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act turned violent on December 19.

The Act grants Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who entered India on or before 31, 2014.
