AN URGENT CLARIFICATION: Friends,
Before all of you go into a collective frenzy, please read my statement below. The issue of an Ordinance was brought up by Lok Sansad vis a vis their remaing Bills. In their speech before Shri Rahul Gandhi, they made this demand. Somehow the Disability Rights Bill got mixed up there. My own view was and is that the concept of an Ordinance is not a very good idea in a democracy. It is certainly not a preferred option. However, if MSJE initiates a process and if the UPA Government decides to bring an Ordinance, especially to placate the groups of neglected, marginalised disabilities and the deaf people who are in an urgent need to enjoy their rights, then I for one will not oppose it either. So, the sum total is as follows: One, bringing an Ordinance is not my idea or that of DRG. Two, as of now, I am neither for it nor against it. Three, for sure, we (DRG) are not going to agitate for it. With good wishes, Javed Abidi 22.2.2014 Sent on my BlackBerry® from Vodafone -----Original Message----- From: vishal M <[email protected]> Sender: "AccessIndia" <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2014 13:14:02 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.<[email protected]> Reply-To: "AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled." <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AI] Protest against promised ordinance to clear RPD Bill at AICC Office today These days the government decisions are based on the inclination of Mr. Rahul Gandhi towards any issue. Whether its about increasing the number of attempts in UPSC, One Rank one pension thing or scrapping of the amendment in RPA. Mr. Javed Abidi has also resorted to Rahul Gandhi now for an ordinance route. I think a protest at Rahul Gandhi's house and a meeting with him will do good to the cause.
