Abidijee, I am sorry to say that over the last month, your observable behaviour with regard to RPD Bill is deeply regrettable. It is not in conformity with ethics, politics or academics of disability. You must be aware that almost all expert opinion that emerged in response to your push to the RPD Bill is against you. Any sensible and honourable person by this time would have a taken a deep breath and sit back, but you are the one who is still committed to waste time of others and the fact is that your position, your reasoning and your Bill if it is yours - all are deeply flawed. I think enough is enough. you need to come out absolutely clear on the introduced Bill saying, according to me, that the Bill is deeply flawed and you are apologetic to provide push to its passage. It does not make any sense that I am niether against the promulgation of ordinance nor fore it. You are on your own admission the part of the Lok Sansad. Any delegation that goes for the promulgation of ordinance for other Bills, would you not go as its member? If yes, mixing is bound to happen and you are required to inspire confidence among your critics that you are not at all up to something that you have been up to over the last month. The reason is that your Bill was not taken up for passage, because the necessary consensus to pass it on voice vote was absent on the floor of the Rajya Sabha. Let me quote Smt. Kanimozhi to you who said on the floor of the House while opposing the passage of the Bill: "We have a strong objection to The Disabilities Bill. We wanted it to be sent to the Standing Committee. We will not allow it to be taken up today. Do you think that these are normal and ordinary words. I have heard that you have been a journalist. If this is correct, you must have the ability to discern the strength and intensity of words and language and if that is so, as a person with dignity, you must not let the mixing happen. You are required to respect the dignity of the House. In your frenzy of trying to push us down the slippery slope, you can't compel the government to commit the contempt of the legislature.
