Rajya Sabha adjourned sine die
New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha was adjourned sine die on Thursday after a brief sitting.
Chairman M. Hamid Ansari adjourned the house sine die when it met at noon after the first adjournment.
Earlier, the house bid farewell to three of its members, who are going to retire.
Congress member from Puducherry, P. Kannan, will retire on October 6, while two nominated members, Ashok. S. Ganguli and H.K. Dua’s term will end on November 17.
Ansari said: “They significantly contributed to its deliberations and enhanced its dignity. I wish them good health, happiness and success in their future endeavours.”
H.K. Dua commented on the functioning of the house and said: “Tolerance has been missing in the house. I urge the treasury and opposition benches to evolve a consensus on running parliament smoothly.”
The entire session was washed out due to protests by the opposition, led by Congress, over the Lalit Modi controversy and Vyapam recruitment scam.
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.
