India The Blind Persons’ Association , is a registered voluntary charitable organization and has been working since October , 1947 for the betterment of blind individuals residing in Mumbai and its suburbs & adjoining districts of Thane, Raigad & Palghar. BPA caters to the needs of non-institutionalized blind persons hailing from weaker economic strata. This in reference to a highly objectionable remarks made by Shri. Aadhir Ranjan Chaudhary, leader of opposition in Lok Sabha on 10th August 2023 about the blind community while discussing no confidence motion. The reference of the King being blind in Mahabharta was responsible for Dravpati's molestation . We all know that the unfortunate incidents in the epic has nothing to do with the King being blind. In the presence context Shri. Chaudhary has use this reference which is undermining the ability of blind individuals. We would like to remind Shri. Chaudhary about the former M. P Shri. Sadan Chandra Gupta from West Bengol who was totally blind and served lok sabha to the best of his ability. The visual disability does not make a person incapable of discharging his / her duties .On behalf of the visually impaired community we strongly deplore the derogatory remarks of Shri. Chaudhary. We request your good self to seek unconditional apology from the member of parliament and refer to the matter to privilege committee and take appropriate action under rights of persons with disability act 2016.
