Dear friends, Mr. Santosh rungta's revealing letter which has lately been put out in the public domain by shri ajay arora [and he must be complimented for doing so] should serve both as an eye-opener and a wake-up call to all persons with disabilities including to the blind. Needless to say that the said letter gives a vivid account, in sequential order, of all that had transpired in the last several days in relation to the so-called joint forum over the proposed RPD bill. It is now abundantly clear that the threat posed to the unity amongst persons with disabilities by this gentalman whom Mr. Rungta has appropriately and adequately unmusked in his said letter, is of phenomenal proportion. Those who have been tracking the sinister moves of this gentalman from close quarters will bear me out when i say that the manner in which he conducted himself is quite in charector and therefore, is perfectly on expected lines. Let us remember that one does not become a monk merely by wearing a cowl. Echoing sentiments similar to those expressed by avinash shahi, H S negi and others i would hasten to add that we, the blind, can only ill-afford to adopt an astrich-like stance by not recognizing the unpleasant reality, and by not acting accordingly. As a blind citizen, i very strongly feel that this presiding deity of the anti-blind lobby must be curbed and contained at all costs, and, with all our might and resources. Why on earth should the blind sacrifice their legitimate interest in the name of fake and shallow unity, and, in favour of self-seeking and self-serving individuals of the ilk of this gentalmen, if i may call him one who is out to harm the blind in ways which are both subtle and clandestine? Of course, we want unity; but we want unity which is real, not rhetorical. Thanks indeed to Mr. Santosh rungta and his associates for their timely intervention.
