Even Jaitley was unware of demonetisation: Rahul
Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s presence in the Lok Sabha and said even the Finance Minister was unaware of the demonetisation move.”He (Modi) can go to a pop concert and speak, but 200 MPs of opposition are standing here demanding his presence,” Gandhi said while protesting at Parliament’s Gandhi statue with twelve other opposition parties.
“Prime Minister should come here, sit, debate and listen to us. We feel that this demonetisation is a scam and demand a joint parliament committee to look into it,” Gandhi said.A united opposition of 13 parties, except the Left and the Aam Aadmi Party, on Wednesday upped the ante against the Prime Minister’s continued silence on the demonetisation issue. “Why is he scared of coming here,” Gandhi asked.
Calling the demonetisation the “world’s biggest impromptu experiment”, Gandhi said that even Finance Minister Arun Jaitley was not aware of the decision.”PM did not ask anyone, not even Finance Minister or the Chief Economic Adviser, before taking this decision. But there were many in party (BJP) and many industrialists, who were aware. Big deposits were made in banks before this decision,” Gandhi said.
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.
