Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday, slammed the opposition for attempting to weaken the nation by spreading misinformation on Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

He also said that the law and order situation in UP was one of the best.

Speaking against the admissibility of an adjournment notice moved by the Samajwadi Party in the state Assembly on Wednesday, the chief minister said that ‘certain forces’ were involved in spreading canards about the CAA.

He said that some vested interests are speaking the language of Pakistan on the CAA issue. “We need to expose these faces,” he said.

The chief minister made a scathing attack on the opposition on the issue of law and order and said, “Who was in power when Naina Sahni was butchered and burnt in a tandoor? Who does not know what happened in Muzaffarnagar during the 2013 riots? In the Unnao case, all five accused have been arrested and action was promptly taken.”

Yogi Adityanath said that the law and order situation in UP was the best and proof of this was that investors were coming in to the state.

“Whether it was the abrogation of Article 370 or the Ayodhya verdict, there was no trouble in Uttar Pradesh. All festivals have been held peacefully in the past two and a half years. The Kumbh passed off peacefully in the state even though it was one of the biggest congregations of people,” he said.

The Speaker, Hriday Narain Dixit, rejected the adjournment notice after this.

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.
