अखिल भारतीय देववंशीय मालवीय लोहार समाज ट्रस्ट

विश्व कि शीर्ष उन्नत अंतर्राष्ट्ऊ?ीय मालवीय लोहार समाज संस्था

। सुरक्षा बंधन अभी भी संभव । तालमेल की पूरी उम्मीद है ।

तकरीबन एक दशक तक समाज को अपना योगदान देने के साथ ही कई काम को अंजाम दिया है। हाल ही में हुई ... कई अव्यावहारिक ताबड़तोड़ घटनाऔ ने मालवीय समाज को जबरदस्त तालमेल के अहसास की नई रणनीति अपनानी होगी ।

इन मामले की जाँच के काम को अखिल भारतीय मालवीय समाज को सौंप कर एक अपील करता हु की समाज के लिए बहुत कुछ हासिल करना है और पूरी समाज से भी उत्साहित मन से अपना योगदान देने की उम्मीद करता हु ।

हमें अभी बहुत कुछ हासिल करना है और समाज को अपना योगदान देना है।
पुनर्व्यवस्ऊ?ित करने के लिए हमें समाज के ख़िलाफ़ धोखाधड़ी और आपराधिक षड्यंत्र रचने वाले सभी लोगों पर अनुशासनात्मऊ? कार्रवाई के लिए हमें नई रणनीति अपनानी होगी ।

राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष पदभार ग्रहण करने के बाद पहले ध्यान इस ओर दिलाया कि कई लोग समुदाय के लोगों के नाम पर और मालवीय समाज के नाम] पद के दावे के बाद] अब इस काम को अंजाम दे रहे है। व्यक्तिगत बनाएं सभी टिप्पणी के ख़िलाफ़ धोखाधड़ी और आपराधिक षड्यंत्र का मामला दर्ज करना होगा ।

समाज ने ऐसे संकेत दिए हैं कि शिकायत के अभाव में लोगों को भले ही औपचारिक जांच का सामना न करना पड़े लेकिन उन्हें अनुशासनात्मऊ? कार्रवाई का सामना करना पड़ सकता है। समुदाय के लोगों के एक प्रवक्ता ने कहा की लोगों के अनुचित व्यवहार को मालवीय समाज हरगिज बर्दाश्त नहीं करेगा ...

हमलों की पुनरावृत्ति रोकने के लिए हमें नई रणनीति अपनानी होगी। जिन तत्वों ने इस को अंजाम दिया है वह अपनी सफलता से उत्साहित है ।

ये मामला तब सामने आया जब अखिल भारतीय समाज ट्रस्ट को सभी समुदाय के लोगों मालवीय समाज ने ध्यान इस ओर दिलाया ।

मुझे लगता है इसमें कुछ समय लगेगा। हमारी कानूनी टीम इस विषय में जांच करेगी और राष्ट्रीय समुदाय के अधिकारियों के साथ सलाह मशविरा कर रही है।

इससे निपटने की मौजूदा रणनीति पूरी तरह कारगर नहीं है। ऐसे में नई रणनीति अपनाए जाने की जरूरत है। इस स्थित को जल्दी बंद करना समाज को एक चुनौती है।

अखिल भारतीय मालवीय समाज के इस वर्ष के 29 अपरेल और 30 APRIL 2009 को होने वाले उत्सव पर समुदाय के ज्यादा से ज्यादा लोगों को सामने आकर इस विषय में योगदान देने की जरूरत है । इस बार जंग में उतरने की मांग बढ़ गई है।

समाज की जानी मानी हस्तियों सहित समुदाय की मांगों पर विचार करने के लिए एक समिति बनाने और रणनीति में संशोधन की मांग पर विचार की शुरुआत हुई। इस चुनौती की जंग में उतरने की मांग बढ़ गई है। लड़ने की तैयारी के लंबे समय के बाद आखिरकार स्थिति थोड़ी सुधरी है ।

बातचीत के लिए जमीन तैयार करते हुए एकल राष्ट्रीय संशोधन की मांग पर विचार की मांगों पर विचार करने के लिए एक समिति बनाने की तैयारी की घोषणा कर तुरंत मांगों पर आधारित प्रस्ताव के लिए सभी साधन मुहैया कराने की घोषणा करता हु ।

लंबे समय के बाद आखिरकार वक्त जैसे-जैसे नजदीक आता जा रहा है समुदाय के लोगों के नाम पर और मालवीय समाज के नाम पर उनके द्वारा मन माफिक इस काम को अंजाम दिया था और दे रहे है]उनके विभिन्न घोटाले की परतें धीरे- धीरे खुलती जा रही हैं।
आपके योगदान और जोश से समुदाय मालवीय समाज एक नई इबारत लिखने में कामयाब होगी । नवगठन से समुदाय मालवीय समाज सबको पीछे छोड़ देगा और अंतर्राष्ट्ऊ?ीय संस्था के रुप में नई पहचान बनाएगा ।

आपका
राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष

Never believe them or else you will be duped and robbed, I advise pliz not to share any personal information with them. These fraud people should be caught, booked and be punished for criminal offence.

HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY MADE ME CONFUSED.WHILE SEARCHING DETAIL OF O2 TELECOMMUNICATION I GOT THIS WEB PAGE. HERE I AM CONFIRMED THAT IT IS FRAUD. THIS WEB PAGE MIGHT HAVE SAVED ME FROM FRAUD BUT MADE ME MORE DETERMINANT THAT NO MONEY CAN BE EARNED WITHOUT WORKDONE. THANKS TO THOSE FRIENDS IN THIS WEB PAGE WHO ACTUALLY HELP ME OUT OF THIS CONFUSION. NOW SOME OF MY FRIENDS TELLING ME THAT THEY MAY BE IN TERRORIST GROUP WHO WILL SEND MONEY THROUGH MY ACCOUNT FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER. I MAY FALL IN GREAT TROUBLE.THANKS ONCE AGAIN TO ALL. THEY SHOUL BE TREATED AS TERRORIST AND SHOUL BE PUNISHED AS THEY ARE UTILISING AS WELL AS PLAYING WITH HUMAN IMMOTION.IF ANYONE TAKE NECESSARY ACTION I WILL BE WITH HIM/HER.
Absolute Fraud.. Dont ever try to do this.. My mum got similar sms..and absolutely nothing came back... Beware of these people
This is fraud trap. They will take your pesonal information, and rob your accounts and make duplicate credit cards etc and you will be duped. This is 420 work. I get about 5 email like this. They have already robbed hundreds of people by asking a small money, later for transfer fee etc.
Hi everyone, I do receive the same message that i've read from this page. I replied and asked how true that I won 5, 000, 000, 00GBP. A confirmation letter from claims department of 02logo Telecommunications was also sent to me but still I'm confused. I searched in google about this 02logo Telecommunications and found out that it is a fraud. I am a filipina working here in UAE I admit that at first the message that was sent to my mobile gives me excitement because i really need money, and at the same time i was confused of the big amount, so I try to research the company name. Now it is clear to me that it is a fraud. For everybody do not believe any information like this unless you have a reliable source that would confirm that it is true before we'll put ourselves into a big problem... TAKE CARE...
hello,
i have got the same message yesterday, and know i am checking who are those people on internet, then i was stopped on this page.
now i know that they are rubber, i wanna say thanks to all of you to let me know who they are and to make sure that i will never give any information to poeple that i do not know.
best regards
it's true or fake???????????????
