New Delhi: BJP MP Tejasvi Surya said on Wednesday that the majority community has to remain vigilant or else Mughal rule will return to the country.

The MP from Bengaluru South said this in the context of the protests at Shaheen Bagh in the national capital as he slammed the anti-CAA demonstrations.

Surya was participating in the debate on motion of thanks on the President’s address in the Lok Sabha.

Pointing to the ongoing protest at Shaheen Bagh against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), he said, “Unless the majority community remains vigilant, the days of Mughal Raj may not be far away.”

Surya also heaped praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for resolving crucial issues which had been pending for several decades.

He added that the CAA was aimed at resolving the issues originating from Partition days and added, “The new India cannot be built without healing the wounds of the past.”

Surya said that CAA will give citizenship to persecuted minorities in Pakistan, Bangaladesh and Afghanistan and is not for taking away anyone’s citizenship.

Under the leadership of Modi, Surya said, several issues of the past have seen closure. These include abrogation of Article 370, construction of Ram temple, Bodo issue and abolition of Triple Talaq.

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.
