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.

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.
