Relief aid from all quarters and walks of life is rising globally for the earthquake-hit Nepal. Muslim organisations from the State are also not behind and have extended a helping hand towards the disaster-hit people of Nepal.
All India Muslim Education Society (AIMES), Muslim Youth Forum of India (MYFI), Hum Ek Hain, All India Muslim Tehwar Committee (AIMTC) and other organisations have announced to collect funds, goods and other necessities for the earthquake victims of Nepal.
AIMES Vice President Mohammed Ibrahim Qureshi while talking to The Pioneer said, “On behalf of AIMES, we regret on earthquake tragedy in Nepal and some parts of India. I humbly appeal to all organisations to participate in relief and rescue operations. I pray to God that there may be limited loss of human beings.”
Qureshi, a former minister of State and former chairman of Madhya Pradesh State Minority Commission said we are collecting relief material from all over country and would soon dispatch it for affected people.
Urdu poet and convener of ‘Hum Ek Hain’ NGO working for unity and peace in society, said, “We standby with the people of Nepal in this hour of crisis and would send all possible help for them. We are aware that the earthquake hit areas of Nepal are facing shortage of water and food besides medicines. Soon, we would send stock of these items to the disaster-hit country.”
MYFI members Khan Ashu and Abid Mohammed Khan said that we have urged the community youth to come forward and extend helping hands for calamity-hit people. We are also launching relief material collection drive in the State. We would take out rallies in the main markets and would make appeal to the people in them to donate generously for victims of Nepal. Besides, we have requested to the Shahar Qazi Syed Mushtaq Ali Nadvi to instruct Imams of all the mosques to make appeal with the community in all the prayers especially in the Friday prayer to come forward and donate for the earthquake hit people of Nepal, they added. Ashu Khan said we prefer to collect material that is required most including medicines, food products, bedding and blankets. AIMTC is also making similar effects and has launched State-wide drive to collect aid material.
