Dear Prasannakumarji, Thank you very much for sharing your interpretations on CRPD committees concluding remarks and deliberations held at UN office Geneva. I was part of civil society delegation and also felt that government representatives were fumbled in many occasions during their presentation unfortunately. I hope that our country delegation will have a better preparation reflecting entirely on the work they have done and the work that they wanted to do in future representations. Of course means a lot to be done financial and policy level implications in taking forward the agenda of upholding rights of persons with disabilities in all respects.
