The announcement by the Home Ministry about the Central government’s declaration of one-day State mourning on Monday in view of the demise of the Sultan of Oman has evoked condolences from a Hindu family in Mayiladuthurai town in Nagapattinam district in the form of a banner with a touching obituary.
‘Beacon of peace’
The late Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said has been described, in the bilingual hoarding, as a beacon of peace by Ashokan, his wife Malathi, and their children Swetha and Perunselvan.
A retired schoolteacher, Mr. Ashokan had worked in Oman for 11 years, before returning to his hometown in 2008 after securing a government job.
Mr. Ashokan who retired from service six months ago said that he placed the order for the banner on January 10, the very day the Sultan died.
“I spent 11 years in Oman with my family. My children underwent their school education there,” Mr. Ashokan said, reminiscing his days in Oman under the rule of the lovable leader.
