The change will not have any negative repercussions on any political parties. All that is required is a nudge.

Though parliament website is mostly accessible but scanned copies of statements in the parliament library sometimes create problem. When I open the link “papers laid”, somehow Jaws gets silent as I go in the table where list of papers are given.

They emphasis should be much more on digital and physical accessibility. We should also push about representation/nomination of. Disable members in the legislative houses.

After much effort, I have managed to secure a meeting with Dr Shashi Tharoor on 21st March. The immediate trigger for this meeting is his observations about Parliament not being disabled friendly and an article that I wrote on the subject in the Indian express. In the meeting, I would like to discuss with him concrete pathways for making Parliament and its proceedings more disabled friendly. I would like to invite your suggestions on what issues I should discuss with him. This is what I have in mind at present: First, Ensuring that proceedings in Parliament or accompanied by sign language interpretation and audio description. At least the most important ones to begin with. Second, setting up a committee that is tasked with addressing all Accessibility related needs in Parliament, as has been done by the Supreme Court recently. Third, conducting an audit of the physical infrastructure and website of the Parliament. Let me know if you have any other inputs.
