Dear Himalaya and other friends, Some of our frends have been participating in this movement from its early days (from January 30th 2011. Good that you wrote this mail. However, may I request you (and others as well) to refrain from portraying our mobility cane even by way of metaphore as a weapon of anykind. It has very serious implications. In fact, it is this very meaning due to which I was not allowed to go inside the Parliament with my stick. (I refused to give it up at the cost of visiting parliament.) It is only a support, an intigral part of the persona of disabled. I can't write more at this point of time, but I do hope that the point I am making is clear enough. I am already worried not only about the nondisabled sectors misusing this meaning, but also that there are organizations of even blind persons, which in the name of security do not allow the members to keep their canes in the General Body Meetings.
