Dear Friends, We are all aware that politics plays major role in our country to highlight or solve the issues of vulnerable communities, but in my knowledge, I did not hear from any political party those who are talking about the issues of people with disabilities because they don't feel that disability community should be vote bank for them, perhaps they don't know about our strength in the society. I feel that this is another reason of our exclusion because till now disability is not an issue for GOVT. But my concern is that is there any political party who wants inclusion of people with disabilities to empower them to understand the importance of their one vote? Yesterday, I went to the poling booth to use my voting right to my favorite leader, but when I reached and asked them to give me escort but they said that "we don't know about escort", however I managed and gave my slip to officer and reached to voting machine, but there was no Braille sticker so I faced difficulty to identify the button but I asked my relative and gave my vote, after voting, I asked concern person that you are not following instructions of supreme court then he said that"nobody gave us any kind of instruction". After this incident, I called media and highlighted this issues, and I will definetly file complaint to state election commission because they did not follow the supreme court order in 10 districts of Madhya Pradesh. Friends, It is a very serious issue if I will not come out from my house to use my vote then nobody will talk about your issues, therefore disability community is facing this problem. Now we should wake up and we should use our vote to show our strength to the political parties otherwise nobody will talk about our issues.
