Naqvi urges MPs to respect parliament
New Delhi: Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi Tuesday urged MPs “not to denigrate the parliament by their words and deeds”.
Addressing a Youth Parliament Competition, 2014-15, organized by the ministry for the schools run by the Delhi government and New Delhi Municipal Council, the minister said that parliamentary democracy was the custodian of basic constitutional rights of the people, a statement said.
“Functioning of parliament impacts life of common man in a variety of ways,” Naqvi said urging fellow MPs to make best use of parliament for the welfare of the people.
He also urged the youth to take constructive interest in politics and public life.
“Parliamentary democracy is not an instrument to attain power but a solemn commitment to serve the people and this commitment should never be diluted,” he said.
He said despite challenges from time to time, parliamentary democracy in the country withstood the test of time.
“It was the fundamental responsibility of the people to elect right kind of representatives who could further strengthen parliamentary institutions and democracy,” 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.
