New Delhi: Slamming the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for not accepting the open debate challenge on political funding, newly formed political party, Swaraj India, on Tuesday said the ruling party in Delhi did not have the democratic spirit or courage to do so.

Swaraj India said it was not surprised to see the AAP running away from the debate as they had done it in the past too when Prashant Bhushan invited Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for a public debate on the issue of Jan Lokpal.

“We had raised five specific questions to the AAP on its shady practices in party funding and invited them for a public debate. It is unfortunate that the party after coming to power doesn’t have the democratic spirit or courage to answer straight questions related to its own political funding,” Swaraj India spokesperson Anupam told IANS.

Anupam said “shady political funding” was the main source of black money and corruption in India. Swaraj India has announced it would launch a campaign against all such parties. “At our massive Halla Bol rally against black money held on December 18 at Jantar Mantar, we raised serious questions on political funding of the two major national parties, the BJP and Congress,” 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.
