Preparing drafts and representations. We’ve done it a lot, Mam. I think that these sort of things are good and we’ll certainly are going to do that again. But I personally think such mischievous acts and declarations are not warranted.
What is the message that railway minister tried to convey by doing such condemnable declaration in recent railway budget? That we’re week and we’re not going to do anything? The word “physically Handicapped” itself was wrong, and when you have a law that clearly defines the persons with disabilities and it uses nowhere the word physically handicapped”, what was the need for using the word "physically handicapped"? Such things are done by the illiterate and corrupt persons. And what a shame!!! Instead of taking the remedial actions, the top officials have tried hard, and succeeded in frustrating the very object of the clause 86 of the bill. However, the happy news is that very soon we’re going to get a powerful force of visually challenged lawyers and the day is not very far when the government will take care of the needs of our community first. coming to the point, This government doesn’t understand the language of politeness. Take the recent example of anna hazare and baba ramdev. We will have to do something immediately, and if need arises, the appropriate arrangements have also be made to drag the irresponsible and reckless officials of the government on the stairs of the concern court. Dear mam, Whatever I can do personally, I am ready to do that. I’ll be waiting for your directions in my inbox. With regards, Akhilesh Kumar Dahiya.
