Bypassing Rajya Sabha dangerous trend: Congress
New Delhi:The Congress, noting that the government had introduced Aadhaar bill as money bill to “bypass” Rajya Sabha, on Friday said this was a “dangerous trend.”
“I think this is a very dangerous trend. The government has taken this to bypass the Rajya Sabha. This is an assault on the upper house of parliament. The Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha are two equal wheels of the same chariot of Indian democracy,” said party leader Jairam Ramesh, noting several senior ministers in the government were from the Rajya Sabha.
He said Congress had “adequate grounds” to believe that Aadhaar bill was not a money bill.
The Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Bill, 2016, was passed by parliament in the budget session after amendments suggested by Rajya Sabha were rejected by the Lok Sabha.
Party leader Anand Sharma, who also interacted with the media, accused the the government of lack of coordination ahead of the visit of a joint investigation team from Pakistan to probe the terror attack in Pathankot.
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.
