Dear All, This is to inform you that Darpan Foundation’s Founder Director and Pehchan’s PD, Mr. Arun Choudhary passed away this morning around 7 a.m. in Chennai where he was fighting with multiple infections. We remember, when he was admitted in Hyderabad recently, how the community members and other leaders broke down. All of us prayed for his speedy recovery, but God wants good people to be with him and hence God made him lost his fight against the multiple infections he was fighting with and called him to be with him. Arun was the key leader who initiated the fight for the rights of the minority community in the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. He always was upfront in keeping his views while fighting for the rights of the community he tirelessly worked for more than 20 years. Just at the age of 42 years he left us for heavenly abode leaving sweet memories in our minds. He will be remembered always for his good work and his good friendship. We have lost a great friend and a great leader from Telangana/Andhra Pradesh. His body is being brought from Chennai and would be taken to his home town in Kamareddy for his last funerals. He will be cremated with dignity infront of his family and community members tomorrow morning. May God give courage to his family and community members to bear this irreparable loss and rest his soul in peace. In Solidarity, Pehchan TS/AP Team and Community Members PS: Condolence meeting will be soon announced.
