Have a look into the matter with rapt attention for a while!

I would like to draw a portrait without having no excessive style!

It's a story of kinship, it's the real story

No blind or excessive zeal, only have a bypassing of bigotry!

Divesh Lal, hails from a poor family in Kerala had gone to Qatar to work as a driver

It was his intention to repay the housing loan he had taken from a local bank! No ill motive of other!

Having been victimized by his fate, Divesh Lal had parked his water tanker to enter a nearby shop

But suddenly the vehicle rolled back and hit an Egyptian national who died on the spot!

In keeping with the law of the land, Lal was jailed and offered two options for his fatal offence

One is secure his freedom by paying blood money to the family of the deceased or serve the entire prison sentence.

Kerala chief of the Muslim Youth League, Panakkad Sayyid Thangal

A lots of money have to manage with immediate effect! Thangal launched a campaign to collect the required money to get back Divesh Lal!

Blood money of rupees forty six lakh need to have for Divesh whose car killed an Egyptian man accidently

Thangal said in a facebook post! Many have responded to the appeal to bring the young man back to his poor family!

As luck would have it, a Qatar based Malayali businessman connected to the IUML and donated sixteen lakh

The Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre which is linked to the party also donated rupees four lakh!

In response to Thangal's appeal all section of people inspired to donate instantly

A collective of Qatar based NRIs from Mallappuram donated rupees six lakh very quickly!

The rest of the amount rupees twenty lakh was collected from Mallappuram within the three or four days of Thangal's request

Aziz Pattikkad, IUML leader and chairman of the block panchayat told the press!

Lal had spent seventy days in jail before being released on account of the month of Ramzan

All types of legal actions and honest attempts were done with patience and calm!

While the act of kindness from the Muslim community of Mallappuram is nothing unusual or unnecessary

But it's a matter of regret that mission has coincided with controversy stirred up by the Kerala Story!

The story which purports to show that girls from Kerala are forcibly converted to Islam

And they are sent to join to Islamic State as Jihadi Brides to tarnish the image of Muslims that should be shun.

Thangal said with heavy hearted that it's the story of a kinship and cordiality

We have had communal harmony in Kerala! Before we have never faced any disparity.
