Dammam : The celebration of Gandhi’s birthday on 2nd of October should not be a mere symbolic program. Indian Social Forum called upon Indian community to recall Gandhi’s principles in order to strengthen the Indian Democracy, said in its press release.

ISF stated in its press release that, Mahathma Gandhi was a proponent of secular values who has dreamed of a comprehensive welfare state. His assassination was the part of removing the secular values by the traitors. We should always remember the Gandhi’s principles and also we should learn the background of his murderers. It is the tragedy of India that the act of terrorism which began with the assassination of Gandhi is still continued. The demand from the fascist forces to build the statue of Ghodse who is the assassin of Gandhi is the biggest threat to sovereignty of the country. Indian Social Forum opined that Indian community should really fight against these traitors and by this way we can really celebrate Gandhi’s birthday.

The empowerment proposal by Gandhi included the development of farmers, villages, minorities, dalits and poor people of India. But today development projects implemented in favor of capitalists and corporate companies who are clearly against Gandhi’s empowerment theme. Even the foreign policy of the country also amended against Gandhi’s principles. In this situation Indian Social forum urged in a press release that we must give respect to Mahathma Gandhi by repeating Gandhi’s struggle to save our country’s democratic system.

An Indian expatriate, hailing from Dakshina Kannada district in Karnataka, who was detained in Jeddah jail in an alleged cyber case, was set free recently. He is allowed to continue his work in the same company. 

The 49-year-old Mangalurean, has been working for a Maintenance company in Jeddah for more than 13 years. He is known for his efficiency and sincerity in the company with good experience in his field of work. 

His company usually assigned him on duty in Jeddah sea port to take the delivery of the goods consigned to his company. As a part of his duty, he normally takes pictures of the goods before the transportation. He did the same in February 2023 too. 

The security personnel informed the police about his act that amounts to be a violation of the port security rule. He was unaware of the rule as he was doing it normally in the port during the release of the goods. Since then, he was detained by the police on the charge of photographing inside the port premises. After more than 6 months detention, he was released and allowed to work in the same company. 

The detainee’s brother based in Jeddah was constantly pursuing the case.

P A Hameed Padubidri, a pro-bono NRI lawyer and social worker based in Riyadh, extended his socio-humanitarian help in this case upon the request of his family and relatives. 

He actively involved trying to set him free from the jail on humanitarian grounds with the coordination and help of the Consulate General of India (CGI) Jeddah. The CGI keenly followed up the case with the concerned Saudi authorities. He was released from the jail recently and shared his happiness with his family and thanked good samaritans.
