Will Mehbooba say ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’? asks AAP leader

mehboobaNew Delhi:  Delhi Water Minister Kapil Mishra on Friday sought to know from the BJP if PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti will chant ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ before taking oath as the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister?

Both the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Delhi government distanced themselves from the minister’s statement.

Calling the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) alliance as anti-national, Mishra, in a letter addressed to BJP national president Amit Shah, said that the nation might have to pay a huge price for the decision of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) and BJP.

He also advised Shah to take the people into confidence before going ahead with such an alliance.

“Does Mehbooba Mufti believe in saying ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai?’ If not, will BJP still form government with her party? Before taking oath as CM, would she (Mufti) raise slogans which say Afzal Guru was a terrorist and ‘Afzal Guru Murdabad’?” asked Mishra.

Mishra said that by allowing Pakistan’s investigation team to probe the Pathankot attacks, the central government has jeopardised the long battle against state-sponsored terrorism from Pakistan and asked if pressure from Mufti was the reason behind this.

The AAP and the Delhi government, however, distanced themselves from the minister’s statement. “It is the minister’s personal opinion and not the party’s stand,” AAP spokesperson Deepak Bajpai told IANS.

A Delhi government official told IANS, “The letter written by Kapil Mishra is his personal opinion.”

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.
