I agree to Mahesh sir.
Let us forget the bitterness now. and collectively work for better RPD
after polls.
Javed sir I gracely apologise publickly if my way of asking and posing
issues have hit you hard. But sir you should understand many landmark
judicial pronouncements and interests of fairly population of disabled
were at stake if this Bill had been passed in its current form.
My commitment to healthy academic discourse has always inspired me to
study and react to all sides of the discourse. Access India has
witnessed my postings from all perspectives on RPD in the last few
weeks. But being myself a totally blind researcher on India's
disabilities act who has easy access to media and academia didin't
wish this Bill be passed where totally blind/low vision persons were
intentially ignored and marginalised in the Bill. And other disabled
categories also rightfully objected to the Bill as you know from the
writings of Amba Salelkar, Professor Mustaffa of Nalsar, Jaina
Kuthari of Alternate legal firm banglore and others.
And as far as activism and leadership is concerned I must talk about
two researched writings one by Meenu Bhambani's who submitted her MA
dissertation praising Mr Javed's contribution under the banner of DRG
and Dr jagdish Chandra's PHD theses who primarily discusses Mr Rungta
and NFB's activism on ground since 70s.
Finally friends, we shouldn't forget this fact whosoever handles media
successfully his'her version gets documented an then that report and
bite can be referred in future. And Mr Javed is superb in dealing with
news agencies. Both leaders have played major roles but there has
always been lack of trust and coordination.
NFB should certainly embark on opening research cell to produce
quality reports and findings this is the lesson they should take from
this RPD fiasco. And finally, I will always be indebted to Mr Rungta
sir for making this hiddened Bill publick so that the lives of million
people have been saved and there is huge possibility to rectify the
provisions of the Bill in conformity to UNCRPD. Disability has
countless shades and frankly writing we don't understand each others
so all groups should be represented.

Shri S. K. Rungta is someone who has been involved in disability
activism from the 1970s at least, that is before many of us were even
born. He has done a lot of work for the community, including some
important and famous judicial victories and very recently, leaking the
obnoxious secret dossier of the government. Mr. Rungta was not the
only leader of the community who was against passing the bill in its
present version. The concerns expressed were legitimate. So there is
no point attacking him in person. There may be differences of opinion
with his perspective, but the decades of activism certainly deserve
respect.
That brings me to Shri Javed Abidi. He too has done significant work
for the community, has worked to bring together different sections of
the community and has his fair share of achievements. He had his own
logic for demanding the passing of the bill in the present format with
certain amendments. But it is just that many of us were not convinced
with that. As a proclaimed cross disability activist, I doubt whether
Shri Abidi correctly gaged the extend of concern that this bill
generated among certain sections of the disabled. A cross disability
platform, as he should know very well, is about building alliances
where different concerns are understood and accommodated. This session
being the last of this Lok Sabha, and with the kind of concerns that
the bill gave way to along with the very suspect actions of the
government, resulted in a lot of emotionalism in disability movement
in recent times, mistakes may have been committed from different
sides. But now that the bill is refered to the standing committee, we
have to get over this face of emotionalism and come together so that
we can have a meaningful and substantive legislation.
I would urge shri Abidi to forget the bitterness if any and get back
to the coalition building mode that would include everyone. The
language of sarcasm and challenge may not be the best way to do it I
believe.
As for many of our Access India community members, the feeling that
our legitimate concerns were getting ignored resulted not just in
solid and strong face of activism, it also has given rise to a lot of
emotional reactions. But now its time we think of the broader
scenario. There is a war to be won out there. We can't have pitched
battles and friendly firing inside our own camp. There was a genuine
difference of opinion and approach with Mr Abidi and certain others.
That difference has been expressed, there is no need to get so
intensely and rather viciously personal.
Lets have a civilized engagement from both sides.

I am absolutely agreed with Mr. Bhavani Shankar Sir.
&, NFB only can do it. & doing also since 3 or 4 dicades. &,
therefore, I thought, he should not put, the sarcastic remark for Mr.
Rungtha which he puts.
