I agreed Avinash No buddy gives importance to the issues of persons with disabilities in India. It was not even raised during election as if we don't have voting rights. All though our number is considerable but We are not consentrated vote bank in any specific region.
One sad thing i would like to share about media that on last sunday PM modi talked about persons with disabilities in his man ki bat. He also talked about making barrier free environment in the country through Accessible India Campaign. But none of the media channel gave coverage in last 2 days. They can show silly things for more than 2 weeks, create artificial issues but cannot spend 2 minutes to cover real issues of persons with disabilities. Shame on Indian media on nigative journalism. We face challenges in every walks of life such that some time i feel that i am still fully dependant on others in independant nation. I contacted several times to media, shared genuine issues of national interest and requested them to show something on accessibility and disabilities on 15th october, third december, 4th january, 9th may etc . But no buddy took interest. Is it not intolerance? I think some of us must contest election at least in sivic bodies so that we can raise our voice.
