Black money not used in films like in past: Rathore

Panaji: Black money is not used in films as much as it was used earlier, Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Rathore said on Monday.Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the 47th International Film Festival of India, Rathore also said that a cashless society would not only curb terror, but also dacoities and thefts because there would not be enough cash to go around with.
“Film industry, right from the beginning — from the time it was given industry status — it worked on cheque payments, bank loans. Black money is not used in films, as it used to be earlier. Slowly, there will be more transparency related to film funding and as a result good cinema will be boosted,” Rathore said.Rathore said that demonetisation and going cashless has a lot of advantages.
“I feel the biggest advantage is that because of the black money use, some people in India were doing things like… prices would rise, those who were earning with honesty were being left behind.This gap will reduce. Terror will be impacted. Thefts, dacoities, drug, crime rates will be impacted. It will be less, as soon as cash becomes less,” he 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.
