It was unfortunate that Mr Abidi spoke with contempt for many. The arrogance was palpable throughout the interview which was enough to discern and comprehend that he is a dictator par excellence. That's precisely the reason for his ouster from the Chair Post of the DPI. His reasoning for defending his comment given to the telegraph paper about "Braille outdated" is farce. He emphasized on contextualizing his statement and stressed upon respecting democratic values such as freedom of expression. He however didn't talk about why committed disability activists don't want to work with him. He also urged to work as cross-disability movement and expressed agony on the plight of people with learning disabilities who are yet to be recognized by the law. We are equally concerned about them but this should not be the sole criteria for letting a black law be passed. Big brotherly behavior and patronizing jesture is contrary to the ethics of identity disability movement. Cross-disability movement is an idea which is fraught with inherent contradictions. Countries such as USA, UK, France and other Nordic nations are struggling to bring everybody on the same table. India is a large country and disability discourse should not be hegemonised by the people sitting in Delhi. Inherent tensions are bound to surface which is inevitable. During the interview Mr Abidi sheepishly laughed about why he is given too much importance and maintained who is he who only has 3 room NGO located in South Extension. Well, Smriti Irani had no mass-base support and lost elections yet is our HRD minister and the youngest cabinet minister. I hope this analogy makes my point clear... Its good Mr Abidi spoke and expressed himself in pretty informal manner on a public broadcast..
