Multi crore scamster Himamuddin
still a member of 12-member NORKA Education Committee
WHY A DUBIOUS AND CRIMINAL
BUSINESSMAN STILL A MEMBER OF NORKA COMMITTEE?
Thiruvananthapuram -The chairman
of Hi-Power Overseas who became rich overnight and a celebrity
was not only adorned with a Ponnada at a global NRK meet, but
given prestigious and plum posting in a NORKA
committee which has 11 other prominent
and well reputed NRKs like M.A.Yousuf Ali of EMKE Group, Dr.Vinod Thomas
of World Bank, K.P.Mohammed Kutty of Saudi Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre,
Dr. Mohammed Ali of Galfar, Abdul Wahab Kerala Muslim Cultural
Centre etc. Himamuddin is only 10th standard and no academic
background to be inducted in the high profile NORKA education
committee. His only qualification being high level contacts with
Kerala ministers.
VISIT
NORKA LINK TO SEE THE FULL LIST
Yousuf Ali and other prominent NRK businessmen who
have good reputation and image should feel ashamed to share a
committee membership with Himamudin. NORKA Officials did not
react to our queries about the reason for inducting
Himammudin in the NORKA committee. NORKA also did not explain
why he was given a Ponnada (for the next Ponnada many businessmen
are now lobbying) and the Ministers who recommended him to the
plum post. Dont the NORKA minister and members of NORKA education
commitee feel ashamed to share membership in a committee with
the criminal still remaining a member. It is high time they distanced
themselves from a criminal who has siphoned off Rs. 500 crores
from a company in Abdu Dhabi, maligning the image of ordinary
NRKs in the Gulf.?..Watch this space.
Is the above story an explanation
for NORKA's silence over the Jerry family fate and non interference
?
Why all your leaders are silent,
asks an Indian Citizen in Iran?
The Jerry and Family were not given any tickets. However
last mid-night about 100 indians gathered outside the school,
but school authorities called the police. The watchman Ahmad
Aga admitted in presence of police and all Indians who had gathered
that school authorities accompanied with Mr. Giro from embassy
came to school and broke the lock and threw their assets down
in corridors from 2nd floor. This was witnessed by all the teachers
living there. All are so terrified that they cannot dare to stand
as witness. Not only that all those who gathered last night in
front of school had lot of sympathy for Jerry family and a few
signed but nobody is daring to come as witness out of fear. Jerry
younger son’s nose started bleeding heavily and he fainted
Jerry was very much depressed. Full
