Ne Delhi: Rajya Sabha was disrupted on Friday over union minister and retired General V.K. Singh’s comments after killing of two Dalit children in Haryana, forcing a brief adjournment soon after the house met.

As soon as the house met, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Mayawati was on her feet.

“Ever since BJP led NDA government haws come in the center, in the nation, social and communal atmosphere is being disturbed,” the BSP leader said.

“Sadly, instead of taking action against such people the government is protecting them. Yesterday the attitude of government on V.K. Singh is very sad,” she said.

Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien said he did not have a notice on the issue from the member and asked her to submit a notice.

BSP members, who had created a ruckus in the house on the issue on Thursday as well forcing several adjournments, then trooped near the chairman’s podium and started raising slogans against the government.

Amidst the din, the house was adjourned for 15 minutes.

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.
