Centre examining Manipur’s three bills: Rijiju
New Delhi: The central government has received three bills passed by the Manipur assembly on August 31 and is discussing them with the concerned ministries, union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said on Tuesday.
“The government has received the three bills passed by the state legislature on August 31 this year and reserved by the governor of Manipur for President’s assent,” Rijiju told.
He said the government was scrutinising the three bills with the help of other departments.
He was answering a question by Nagaland’s parliamentarian Nephiu Rio as to the status of the three bills and whether the government has taken cognizance of the impact of the three bills on public sentiments of the hilly areas of the state.
The three bills include Protection of Manipur People Bill, Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms (Seventh Amendment Bill), and the Manipur Shops and Establishments (Second Amendment) Bill.
Manipur has witnessed violence and death of nine tribals following the passing of the three bills in a specially called assembly session on August 31 this year.
Hundreds of people also have been protesting in the national capital for over a month, demanding that the central government refuse to clear the three bills.
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.
