New Delhi: Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Lok Sabha MP Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday called the Central government’s report card presented by the President at the beginning of this session a “documents of lies” and accused the regime of “spreading scepticism” among people like British colonists who had adopted a divide and rule policy.

Referring to the ongoing violent protests across the country against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), Akhilesh Yadav questioned the Centre’s working style, saying: “What kind of message is being delivered? How is violence being used as means (to control protests)?”

Elected from the the Azamgarh constituency, the Samajwadi Party (SP) MP accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Central government of failing to fulfil its “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas” commitment, suggesting that the saffron party “should be reading the philosophy of socialist political leader Ram Manohar Lohia, if it is giving respect to him”.

“Neither did they (BJP) take ‘Sabka Saath’ (everyone along) nor did they do ‘Sabka Vikas’ (all round development). They only spread ‘avishwas’ (scepticism) among people,” Yadav said, while participating in the discussion motion of thanks to President Ram Nath Kovind’s address delivered on January 31, on the first day of the Budget session.

“They are ruling like the British, who followed the divide and rule policy. The BJP is dividing Hindus and Muslims,” he added.

He described the government’s five years’ report card presented by the President in his address as a “document of lies” and “not truth”.

The 47-year-old Akhilesh Yadav also said that the Census 2021 — the 16th one, following the previous Census in 2011 — is under process but the government is not going to conduct the enumeration on the basis of caste.

“Why they are ignoring it (caste as a category) like Congress government?”, he asked.

He later accused the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government of stopping all welfare initiatives taken during his tenure like the setting up of potato and grain mandis (markets) in Mainpuri.

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.
