Emotional PM delivers farewell speech for senior Congress leader
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had teary eyes and shaky voice while delivering his farewell speech for Congress senior leader Ghulam Nabi in Parliament on Tuesday. PM said that his legacy in national politics will be hard to replace.
Recounting the bond with Azad, PM Modi narrated a story that how Ghulam Nabi Azad was at the forefront of operations during a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir and committed towards his service to the nation.
“I will never forget Azad’s efforts and Pranab Mukherjee’s efforts when people from Gujarat were stuck in Kashmir after a terror attack,” he said.
“There was a terrorist attack on pilgrims from Gujarat in Jammu and Kashmir. Ghulam Nabi Azad called me at first. The phone was not for the information, his tears were not stopping. That time Pranab Mukherjee was the defence minister and requested for Indian Air Force jet for transporting the body. He said that don’t worry, we will figure out something. But, Ghulam Nabi called me again. He was at the airport,” the PM said.
As a leader of the opposition, it is easy to engage in party politics, but Ghulam Nabi Azad Ji rose above this and always prioritized the prosperity of the country first,” PM Modi said.
Azad was appointed as the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha in June 2014 after the BJP-led NDA formed the government. In 2015, Azad got re-elected to the Rajya Sabha from Jammu and Kashmir, despite the PDP-BJP alliance holding a majority of seats in the Legislative Assembly. Azad was honoured with the “Outstanding Parliamentarian Award” in 2015.
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.
