The duo died last Thursday (06/12/2018) in a road accident near Goodah on Riyadh-Dammam express highway while returning with family members from Makkah to Jubail after performing Umrah. Other members sustained minor injuries except deceased Khader's younger daughter Asma, whose leg got fractured. She underwent surgery two days after the accident at Dammam central hospital.

Salathul Janaaizah (prayer for dead bodies) was held in the Masjid soon after Maghrib prayer. Immediately after the prayer, the bodies were taken to nearby cemetery & laid in the grave in front of a large saddened crowd & four sons of Khader. Both graves are positioned adjacently.

After the undertakings, the bereaved sons received commiserations hugely over the sad demise of their father and grandfather.

The funeral rites witnessed a vast crowd. Some senior residents said that they never saw such a huge gathering in their life; this is the first time they are able to see such a big mass.

Emirate Khader was individually known for his humanitarian and social services for the past four decades in the KSA. When there were no social organizations to reach out the compatriots for their issues of any nature, Khader was in the frontline to hear their grievance & to seek solutions to their problems. He was famous for his kindness, friendliness, whole-heartedness & selfless works.

It was really a sad moment when his body was laid in the grave & people threw handful of soils into the grave as a tradition of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh).

Shivamogga, Aug 5: Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa on Wednesday hailed the laying of foundation stone (bhoomi pujan) for a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya and said "Kashi Vishwanath and "Krishna Janmasthan temples have to be liberated".

"It is a good day that the foundation stone for Ram Temple has been laid. A beautiful temple will come up, but there are Kashi Vishwanath and Krishna Janmasthan temples which have to be liberated," Eshwarappa said.

The minister said that there is a "sign of slavery" at Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.

"The whole nation is dreaming of Shri Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple. I have visited the two temples. 

There is a sign of slavery. Mosques are there at holy places. When I visited the place at Mathura, I witnessed the wall. When we look at the wall, we feel like we are still slaves," he said.

"While visiting Kashi, there is also a structure of slavery. Dream of Hindus is fulfilled in Ayodhya. One day, it will be fulfilled in Mathura and Kashi. Mathura Sri Krishna and Kashi Vishwanath will be freed and temple will be built," Eshwarappa added.

The Places of Worship Act, enacted in 1991, says that religious character of a place of worship existing on the August 15, 1947 shall continue to be the same as it existed on that day. The Act kept Ayodhya case out of its purview.
