IPL chairman Shukla condemns attack on BCCI office
Mumbai: Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Rajeev Shukla on Monday strongly condemned the attack on the headquarters of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) at the Wankhede Stadium here by a group of Shiv Sainiks.
The protest was staged at BCCI president Shashank Manohar’s office here against his move to hold talks with his Pakistani counterpart Shahryar Khan on the resumption of cricketing ties between the two countries.
The Shiv Sainiks, numbering over 70, carried a black flag and shouted slogans of ‘Pakistan murdabad’ and ‘Shashank Manohar murdabad’.
“Strongly condemn the attack on BCCI Office by Shiv Sena,” Shukla wrote on his Twitter account after the attack.
“Cricket is a gentleman’s man and the spirit of the game expects same generosity and tolerance from those who love the game. BCCI is a responsible body and will not do anything against national interest. Cricketing decisions should be left to BCCI,” the IPL chairman added.
Later, the police detained more than two dozen Shiv Sena activists and whisked them away, even as Manohar quietly watched from his office.
A protester said that the Shiv Sena would not permit any cricketing relations between the two countries until Pakistan stopped the killing of Indian soldiers and civilians on the border.
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.
