Chandigarh: Congress leaders and workers in Punjab will confront Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) leaders in Punjab’s rural areas, a senior Punjab Congress leader said Saturday.

Punjab Congress President Partap Singh Bajwa Saturday called upon the panchayati raj rural development cell of the party to confront the RSS in the rural areas to stop its penetration.

Addressing a meeting of the party cell here, Bajwa cautioned people saying the infiltration by RSS, whom he termed as a “communal force”, was a matter of great concern and might create tension in the state.

“Peace would not be allowed to be disturbed in the state by such divisive and sectarian forces. The rise of such forces in this border state is a matter of serious concern,” he said.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has an alliance government in Punjab with the Shiromani Akali Dal since 2007.

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.
