Hyderabad: Hyderabad has always been an abode of communal amity where everyone, irrespective of religion, live in peace and help each other in times of need. At a time, when communally insensitive acts are becoming common in many parts of the country, a group of Muslim men in Hyderabad performed the last rites of a 23-year-old Hindu man who died of health complications.
The deceased a native of Kolkata, had come to Osmania Hospital for treatment of his pancreas, along with his mother and sister, but could not survive.
Seeing the mother and sister crying, as they did not have money to perform the last rites, volunteers of the Helping Hand Foundation (HHF), a city-based healthcare NGO, quickly completed all formalities at the hospital.
They also arranged an ambulance to shift the body to Panjagutta shamshanghat to perform the last rites. The volunteers not only performed the last rites but also moved the inconsolable mother and sister to their shelter home and kept them there as they threatened to end their lives. The Hans India reported.
According to Mujtaba Hasan Askari of HHF, the young man had recently secured a government job and was the family’s sole bread-earner, hence it was hard for the mother and sister to bear the sudden tragedy that hit them.
