Faisal khan on the behalf of Khudai Khidmatgar talked about the idea behind the revival of Khudai khidmatgar. Moreover he talked how it’s going to work in different parts of country and called this program as a major stepping stone towards its revival process since November 2008, when the decision was taken for its revival in Delhi meeting. He also mentioned the need for such an organization in this time when self interests are creeping into this field of Social Activism and so it becomes the need of the time to have an organization which works without any desire for worldly reward, he further said that the “reason to choose this place was Khudai Khidmatgars wanted to convey this message to those people who were responsible for the assassination of Bapu, that they have been able to kill his body but by not his ideas”.
