Respected members of accessindia, i extend my heartfelt thanks for your comments with regard to this issue. actually i wrote a personal mail to the administrator of this group and he asked me the full text. to get the full text, we, some people from tamilnadu have filed the RTI. however one of our friends of other mailing group have forwarded this and brought this in to limelight of accessindia. moreover, as a guy who know tamil, the translated version is full as that of in tamil. and i would like to say something here. it is not about whether he said or not, if you read by clicking into the link that has been provided below, you could find the unconditional apology tendered by him in english. let us consider that he is very good and empethising as some of our friends believe. if he didn't aired such derogatory remarks, then what is the reason behind that unconditional apology tendered by him? and let me question one thing. i hope access india contains bunch of legal experts and visually challenged activists. can you all suggest, if this is proved, i mean if we come to get the proof for his remarks, what are the legal repurcussions can be enforced on him? because, it is not about making him withdraw the said statement because nothing is gonna change because of withdrawal. we need to proove to the rest of the society that we have integrity. because our integrity is at stake. so, your suggestions regard to taking this issue to judiciary would be highly appreciated. look forward to hear from you all, thank you.
