A 25-year-old organisation “Al Hikmah Foundation” has given “Nishan-e-Yadgaar” award to a journalist and social activist M Attaharuddin Munne Bharti for saving life of a 17-year-old.
A host of dignitaries, including Kamarul Hasan Begh, Fasil Akmal and journalist Ashraf Bastawi were present at the occasion.
Hikmah Foundation chairman Ziyauddin Nadvi said Bharti has shown a great deal of courage by saving a life and he is committed to serve society and has been doing so for long. Also, he said Bharti is an asset for society and people should learn to do good things from him.
Bharti shared his experience as to how he saved the life of Satyendra, who was stuck with an electric pole. A minute of delay could have cost him his life. He appealed to people to help people in distress as that would be the biggest service to humanity. Bharti has been conferred with several prestigious awards for his service to humanity. He was conferred with awards by the Soviet Embassy in New Delhi and Vivekanand Sadbhavana prize in the past.
