Kejriwal's inability in providing job to Prem is nothing but shirking responsibility. AAP's Menifesto boldly promises for honoring the provisions of employment and education envisaged under the PWD Act. Organisations such as NFB and others' need to swiftly prepare a demand charter and submit it to the Delhi government. I'm sure Delhi is far behind in fulfilling 3 per cent quota in all types of jobs. We have many issues at hand in the capital: 1 hostel for blind women is urgently needed nearby north campus as there is one exists for blind men known as Seva Kuteer. 2) given the rising surviving cost in the capital, Delhi government's scholarship policy for disabled which is non-functional should be resumed. 3) the Supreme Court's order for the implementation of 3 per cent quota in employment should be duly adhered. We can discuss many more pressing issues but call has to be taken by the organisations. I should end here for now...
http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/delhi-chief-minister-arvind-kejriwal-meets-diffrently-abled-at-janta-darbar/ Physically disabled people were given preference on the second day of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's janta darbar at the Aam Aadmi Party's Kaushambi office here that lasted more than an hour on Thursday. A three-tier security ring was thrown around the CM during the public interaction which was attended by more than 500 people including well-wishers who came with sweets and garlands. "CM wanted to meet the disabled first, so they were given preference, irrespective of their time of arrival," Ghaziabad City Magistrate Kapil Singh, who was supervising the event, said. Complainants started trooping in as early as 8 am for the session that started at 10 am. Later, groups of 10 people, five men and five women were allowed to meet the Chief Minister in batches. Around 11.30 am, Kejriwal came out and appealed to the gathering, who were still awaiting their turn, to submit their grievances to the officials. "I am leaving from here, as I have to attend a very important meeting. But do not go from here, until your concerns are submitted to the officers here, because you have voted me to solve your problems," he said. Amit Chhabaria, a senior official from the Chief Minister office, said, "We are collecting the complaint letters which would be sent to respective authorities to take action accordingly." But few people were disappointed with the arrangement. "We came here to put our grievances before Kejriwal only, but it is very sad that he left without hearing our complaint," said Manoj Kushwaha, who came from Dwarka. Meanwhile, party volunteers clarified that Kejriwal would be holding meetings between 10 am to 11 am on each Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Visually impaired 45-year-old Prem Kumar, who could meet the Chief Minister, said, "Kejriwal expressed his inability to give me employment, but he assured me to do something for my accommodation requirements." Malviya Nagar MLA Somnath Bharti also met Kejriwal along with 'Brahmakumari sisters'. He, however, expressed reservation over the term 'janta darbar'. "Janta darbar's concept was coined during monarchical regimes when Raja used to meet Praja. Kejriwal doesn't consider himself as Raja, rather he considers himself as Praja," Bharti said -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
