Indian Social Forum celebrates I-day in Jubail
Jubail: Indian Social Forum, Karnataka State Committee held the Independence Day programme for NRI Indians to commemorate India’s 71 Independence recently at the Jubail Cookxon Restaurant.
Speaking on the occasion, Nazeer Thumbe, Executive member of the Indian Social Forum said that people from all religions, workers, women, students, writers, Dalits, and minorities have sacrificed their lives for the freedom struggle.
