‘BJP won’t decide if we are Indians or not’: Akhilesh Yadav on NPR forms

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav said on Sunday that he would not fill the National Population Register (NPR) form. He asked his Samajwadi party workers to boycott the NPR exercise also.

“The BJP will not decide whether I am an Indian or not. We want employment and not NPR,” he said while addressing a press conference here.

Referring to the recent anti-CAA violence in the state, Akhilesh said that the Chief Minister was directly responsible for those who had died in police firing.

“Why are the families of those killed in violence not being given the post-mortem reports? The government does not want the truth to reach the people because it is apprehensive of the growing anger among the public. The chief minister is doing injustice to save his chair. Even his legislators are against him,” he said.

The SP president further said that the economy of the country was at its worst, but the ruling party was trying to divert attention of the masses.

He said that when the Samajwadi Party comes to power, it would help the victims of the anti-CAA protests.

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.
