Recalling his association with Atal ji, Vijay Goel described him as a person who dedicated his entire life for the welfare of the nation. We all got a lot to learn from Vajpayee ji.

Today, the Prime Minister and President of the country have all grown up influenced by the works of Atal ji.
Goel said that I remember Vajpayee ji used to say, “Modi will not earn name in the country, he will earn name in the whole world. See, one day it will progress a lot.” In those days, I was a minister in the Prime Minister's Office with Vajpayee ji. Who knew better than me what they thought about whom? We have seen for the first time that the Prime Minister of a country, in the last journey of the person whom he considers as his guru and ideal, has gone on foot to the last place ‘Sadaiv Atal’.
Today Prime Minister Modi ji has launched many schemes in the name of Atal ji.

• तहबाजारी वालों की समस्या को लेकर गोयल ने चांदनी चौक में लगाई जनता अदालत 
• तहबाजारी को लेकर दिल्ली नगर निगम व पुलिस में भारी भ्रष्टाचार 
• सरकार तहबाजारी वालों की समस्याएं सुन एक बार में हल निकले 
• केजरीवाल सरकार में तहबाजारी को लेकर कोई सुनने वाला नहीं 

29 नवम्बर 2023, नई दिल्ली : पूर्व केंद्रीय मंत्री एवं पूर्व भाजपा अध्यक्ष विजय गोयल गोयल ने आज तहबाजारी व साप्ताहिक बाजार लगाने वालों की समस्याओं पर चांदनी चौक टाउन हॉल पर जनता अदालत लगाई। सैंकड़ों की संख्या में तहबाजारी वाले अपनी समस्याओं को लेकर गोयल के पास पहुंचे।

गोयल ने  कहा कि दिल्ली में आम आदमी पार्टी की सरकार है और नगर निगम में भी केजरीवाल की। 2019 में वादा किया था कि लोगों को रोजगार देने के लिए तहबाजारी दी जाएगी ।  गोयल ने आरोप लगाया  कि  नगर निगम में भारी भ्रष्टाचार है। अवैध रूप से पैसे देकर लोग रेहड़ी पटरी लगा लेते हैं पर जिनके पास रसीद है उन्हें लगाने की अनुमति नहीं है ।

गोयल ने बताया की ज्यादातर लोग दिल्ली नगर निगम की मनमानी व  भ्रष्टाचार से परेशान हैं दिल्ली में 12 जोन में करीब 40 हज़ार लोगों को तहबाजारी का लाइसेंस मिला है जिन की सबसे बड़ी परेशानी है की जब मुटेशन करवाने की जरुरत होती है तो मुटेशन होती ही नहीं है। दूसरा तहबाजारी वालों से जो वार्षिक शुल्क लिया जाता है वह समय पर न जमा हो तो 4-4 गुना वसूल किया जाता है जो कई बार तो लाखों में पहुँच जाता है।  

गोयल ने कहा की 2007 में सर्वे कराकर नगर निगम ने 1,30,000 लोगों को तहबाजारी की रेड स्लिप दी थी व कहा था कि आपको कंही न कंही तहबाजारी लगाने की अनुमति देंगे लेकिन नहीं दी गई। इसके बाद 2021 में दो एजेंसियों को नियुक्त किया गया दोबारा सर्वे करने पर इसमें 76000 लोगों को सर्टिफिकेट भी दे दिया पर उनकी भी तहबाजारी लगाने नहीं दी जा रही।

गोयल ने कहा टाउन वेंडिंग समिति की पिछले 3 साल से एक भी मीटिंग नहीं हुई है इसलिए भी तहबाजारी नहीं दी जा रही लोग 20 20 साल की पुरानी रसीद को लेकर घूम रहे हैं पर कोई सुनने वाला नहीं है।

गोयल ने कहा की वह उपराज्यपाल व म्युनिसिपल कमिश्नर से मिलेंगे और सारी समस्याओं को रखेंगे । सुप्रीम कोर्ट के मुताबिक दिल्ली की कुल जनसंख्या की 2 .5 प्रतिशत जनता को तहबाजारी से रोजगार दिया जा सकता है।

PRESS RELEASE
1.    Equal justice is the right of every citizen – Arif Mohammad Khan
 
2.    Uniform Civil Code will also protect the interests of common citizens – Arif Mohammad Khan
 
3.    UCC will promote gender equality and reduce discrimination based on religion: Vijay Goel
 
4.    Modi is working for all sections without any discrimination: Goel
 
 
New Delhi, July 13, 2023: Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti organized a seminar on “Uniform Civil Code – Need of the Hour?” at Tees January Marg, Gandhi Smriti on July 13, 2023. On this occasion, Governor of Kerala, Arif Mohammad Khan, delivered the keynote address. Former Union Minister and Vice Chairman of Gandhi Smriti, Vijay Goel presided over the function.
In his address, Arif Mohammad Khan stated that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is essential for the unity of the country. It is unfortunate that some people are associating it with religion, whereas UCC is not targeting any particular religion. Instead, it advocates equal laws for all citizens of the country.
He mentioned that this law will ensure that when two women approach the court under similar circumstances, the court will not ask about their religion, but rather affirm that equal justice is the right of every citizen.
The Governor of Kerala said that since 2019, there has been a 96% reduction in triple talaq cases among Muslims. This has benefited those women and their children who were earlier distressed. This law has transformed their lives. Similarly, the Uniform Civil Code will also protect the interests of common citizens.
Arif Mohammad Khan stated that India is not a land of revolutions but of transformations. We live with our cultural diversities and celebrate our diversity.
Goel said that opponents of the Uniform Civil Code claim that it would violate religious freedom. However, this law will promote gender equality, reduce discrimination based on religion, and simplify the legal system. The maximum benefit will be received by the minority communities.
Goel said that the need is being felt that there should be equal law for every citizen living in India, irrespective of caste and religion and called for a healthy debate on this issue. He said that the Uniform Civil Code aims to be a secular law.
Goel said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi works without any discrimination. He has worked for the upliftment of minorities, women, and the poor. Whether it is the ban on triple talaq, the Ujjwala scheme, or the Jan Dhan Yojana, these schemes have benefited people of all religions, especially women.
Goel said that change is often met with resistance, but progress demands courage and vision. We must also acknowledge that the implementation of a UCC requires careful consideration and extensive dialogue with all stakeholders, including religious and community leaders. It is essential to address their concerns and find common ground to forge ahead towards a more just and equitable society.
Earlier on his arrival to Gandhi Smriti, Arif Mohammad Khan offered tributes at the Martyr’s Column, the site of the Martyrdom of Mahatma Gandhi.
