Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore

Mangalore, Dec 20: Social welfare organisation India Fraternity Forum (IFF), Riyadh in a press release has condemned the attempt by some of the coastal media to link it with underworld criminals.

The press release quotes IFF Riyadh chapter president Noushad: "It is biased and baseless report that IFF is assisting these underworld criminals who were held by Mangalore police recently."

It further states, "IFF is one of the social organizations working for the welfare and human rights of non-resident Indians in Gulf countries. We help needy Indians. We struggle to give humanitarian help to those who are facing problems here."

"We help each and every needy Indian with no bar of region or religion; caste or creed," statement adds.

"The so called report is ‘produced’ and ‘politically motivated’; which will never hinder our humanitarian service to all needy Indians living abroad," stated the IFF president.
