New Delhi: The AAP will on Tuesday ‘gherao’ Parliament to protest against demonetisation which it said was in reality meant to help corporate houses and not unearth black money. “We will march to Parliament and ‘gherao’ it under (Deputy Chief Minister) Manish Sisodia’s leadership,” Aam Aadmi Party leaders Ashish Khetan and Dilip Pandey told the media here.
The AAP also said that demonetisation would be one of its major election planks in the states it contests upcoming assembly elections. Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal will also address three public rallies in Meerut, Lucknow and Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh on the issue of demonetisation starting from December 1. “This is a Rs 8 lakh crore scam. This is actually meant to benefit corporate houses and not to unearth black money,” Khetan said. “Kejriwal has already spoken on this in detail.”
Khetan quoted former RBI Deputy Governor K.C. Chakravarty as saying that the RBI had earlier rejected a similar demonetisation proposal on the plea that black money was chiefly kept in foreign banks and invested in land, gold and property and not stacked in cash. The government on November 8 demonetised Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, triggering a cash chaos in the country.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
