Group meets dead labourers family in Malda

Dead labourers family

The ‘Karwan-e-Mohabbat’ or ‘Love Caravan’ team crafted by Harsh Mander, an IAS officer, who resigned from his services after communal clashes in Gujarat in 2002, reached Malda to meet family members of the two labourers killed in other states recently.

The team comprising artists, authors, film directors, advocates and journalists, along with Mr Mander, went to Syedpur under the Kaliachak police station first to meet the family of ‘love-jihad’ victim, Affarajul Khan, who was killed in Rajasthan last December.

The team then went to Swarupgunj under the Chanchal police station where they met relatives of the labourer Sakir Ali who was found dead in Rajasthan this month.

They talked with the family members at length and enquired of their needs, including legal expertise. IT may be noted here that this team visited eight states of the country in September 2017 to meet the people affected by ‘hate-violence.’

They also visited the bereaved families in Basirhat, North 24 Parganas, yesterday. Talking to the Press, Mr Mander said, “An environment of violence has been created in the country for the past few years and a fall in humanity among the masses can be witnessed.
