Rajya Sabha again disrupted over conversion issue
New Delhi: The logjam in the Rajya Sabha over the conversion issue continued Monday as the opposition once again demanded a debate.
Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Naresh Agarwal said he has submitted a notice to suspend all work and take up the debate.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, however, said that the notice cannot be admitted since the issue has already been raised once.
“Rule 169 says the debate is inadmissible since the debate has been taken up once,” said Jaitley.
Members had slammed the government for not fulfilling its promises but going ahead with the ‘Ghar Wapsi’ agenda.
“They promised they will give farmer one and a half times returns for their input cost, they promised bringing back black money, and creating jobs. None of this was done but they are going ahead with reconversions,” said SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav.
He was joined by other members, including Janata Dal-United leader Sharad Yadav and Left leader Sitaram Yechury.
Trinamool Congress leader Derek O’Brien said: “We are not running away from a discussion. We want a discussion on the issue of conversion. We want the PM to come to the house”.
As protests continued, Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien adjourned the house till noon.
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.
