Even though he achieved too little in politics, he was free from all the avarice prevalent in Indian public life. It is well known that no political party, including that of Indira Gandhi, could win him over and buy him at any price. He was successful in bringing awareness to Indian Muslims regarding their infallible right to negotiate for their constitutional rights without becoming the fodder of vote-bank politics.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-binary field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img src="/sites/default/files/default_images/place-holder1_0.jpg" width="480" height="315" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Main category:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/category/main-category/opinion/letters">Letters</a></div></div></div> Tue, 07 Mar 2017 19:15:55 +0000 rbksa 1064696 at Senseless act /node/1064106/letters <div class="field field-name-field-rbitem-author field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">article author:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/119326">Anees Lokhande, Jubail</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author field-type-text field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Anees Lokhande, Jubail</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-id field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">ID:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">1488829632732096100</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-publication-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">Tue, 2017-03-07 01:46</span></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>This refers to the report “Israel aircraft attack Hamas targets after rocket fired from Gaza” (Feb. 28). As a matter of fact, Hamas should come to its senses and not launch unnecessary rockets from Gaza into Israel. Hamas should remember that Israel is mightier than Hamas and has nuclear power. Undue provocation on the part of Hamas will be detrimental for its progress and peace. Hamas also must understand that launching rockets cannot destroy Israel, but in response to launching rockets, Israeli attacks will create mishaps in Gaza.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-binary field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img src="/sites/default/files/default_images/place-holder1_0.jpg" width="480" height="315" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Main category:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/category/main-category/opinion/letters">Letters</a></div></div></div> Mon, 06 Mar 2017 19:47:50 +0000 rbksa 1064106 at Death of a stalwart /node/1063656/letters <div class="field field-name-field-rbitem-author field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">article author:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/189221">Khalid Noor Mohammed, Riyadh</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author field-type-text field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Khalid Noor Mohammed, Riyadh</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-id field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">ID:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">1488742916093486600</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-publication-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">Mon, 2017-03-06 01:40</span></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>With the death of Indian Muslim leader Syed Shahabuddin, a stalwart is gone.
