Over 300 people attended the Indian Muslim Federation Eid dinner organised by its Newham branch on 19th of September 2018. The event showcased the work of this United Nations recognised NGO, which included a video presentation of its recent aid mission in the Rohingya refugee camps situated on the Bangladesh/Burmese border, where it distributed aid to the value of £115,000 including the building of scores of shelters. The highlight of the event was the keynote address by the special guest and former Rajya Sabha (Upper House, Indian Parliament) member, Maulana Mahmood Madani, General Secretary of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind.
