New Delhi:  Information and Broadcasting Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Friday took on the Opposition asking it to apologise to the country for not letting Parliament function over the issue of demonetisation.

Naidu said the people had already given a huge mandate to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government since 2014 and through different local civic body elections.”The opposition should apologise to the people for disrupting Parliament … and for damaging the country for so many years,” Naidu said here.”First, you don’t let Parliament function, then you ask for voting … It will be embarrassing for you if there is a voting … Voting was done in 2014 in Assam, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh … People had already given their mandate,” Naidu said.

Pointing towards former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Naidu said: “Manmohan Singh has caused huge damage to the country in terms of inflation… It is the Congress which should apologise,” he said.Taking a jibe at the joint opposition that criticised the government over demonetisation, Naidu said all the calls of “temporary friends” had failed.

“You made a temporary tent which fell… all your attempts and calls like the countrywide shutdowns had failed… you are not united,” Naidu said.Saying that the Congress has mismanaged and misinformed the country, Naidu also took on the party’s Vice President Rahul Gandhi for calling the Prime Minister names.  “They are making cheap comments against the Prime Minister. You can accuse the Prime Minister but not abuse him… The PM is an institution, masses follow him, entire world speaks in favour of Modi,” Naidu said.

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.
