Two Indian brothers were arrested in Saudi Arabia for sending money to Iran, and now they are pleading with the "Hindutva" Modi government to help them.
Mohammed Rahib and Mohammed Zafar from Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, moved to Saudi Arabia for blue-collar jobs. They worked hard and sent money back home to support their paralyzed father and homemaker mother.
In March, their mother wanted to send money from India to people in Iran. She expressed her concern for Iranians, despite her own family needing more attention and support. Zafar used his brother Rahib's mobile phone in Saudi Arabia to transfer 200 SAR to a bank account linked to the Iranian Embassy in New Delhi.
The financial trail led the Saudi CID to the duo. Since then, there has been no news about them. The family is now begging the Indian government to intervene and help secure their release.
One has to realize that your own family and fellow countrymen deserve your help more than Iranians or Palestinians. They have powerful lobbies and influential backers to support them. That is not the case for you.
So stop being emotional fools. Moreover, no matter how many jibes you take at the Modi government, when your neck is on the line, you end up calling on the same government for help.
