RSS doesn’t run Modi government: Paswan
Thiruvananthapuram: The RSS doesn’t run the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is “a man of action”, Consumer Affairs and Food Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said Wednesday.
Modi’s only agenda was development, Paswan told the media here.
“I have served under a few prime ministers and I respect all of them,” he said. He said there was no interference from anyone in the working of his department.
“There is no such thing that the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh) is running the government,” Paswan said, referring to the BJP’s ideological parent. “It’s Modi who is the prime minister and he is in charge of the government.”
He said the central government had got nothing to do with issues like religious conversions blamed on rightwing Hindu groups.
“The development of the country is the main issue before the government,” he said.
But Paswan added that no forcible religious conversion was going on in the country.
“As long as people give up their religion on their own, that is not a crime,” the Lok Janshakti Party leader said.
Paswan also ridiculed the attempts by the erstwhile Janata Pariwar to merge in the wake of the Lok Sabha election that virtually wiped them out.
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.
