India most tolerant country in world: Venkaiah
Jaipur: Describing the recent incidents of intolerance as “stray” and “blown out of proportion”, union Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday said India is the “most tolerant country in the world”.
“Our country believes that the whole world is one family. India is the most tolerant country in the world, we have never come to intolerance and that is the philosophy of the nation,” he said while addressing the Resurgent Rajasthan Partnership Summit 2015 here.
The recent incidents of intolerance were “stray” and were “blown out of proportion”, Naidu said in the backdrop of the recent lynching of a Muslim man in Dadri and returning of awards by eminent personalities.
A certain section of the community was creating a “negative picture of the country”, he added.
Naidu said the country was witnessing the “politics of poverty” and now it has changed to “politics of development” under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“The prime minister was getting a tremendous response from the world and the country was doing well under his leadership,” he added.
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.
