[AI] Fwd: Govt Defending a Discriminatory Haj Policy

[Sruti disAbility Rights Centre]

-- Forwarded message --
From: National Platform For The Rights of the Disabled 
Date: 12 April 2018 at 11:49
Subject: Govt Defending a Discriminatory Haj Policy
To:



April 12, 2018



*Press Statement*



The National Platform for the Rights of the Disabled is appalled at the
contents of the affidavit filed by the Union Ministry for Minority Affairs
in the Delhi High Court in a case challenging the new Haj Policy that
virtually bars certain categories of disabled persons from undertaking the
Haj.



In its attempt to defend a policy that is outright discriminatory, the
government is portraying the entire disabled community as beggars. This is
demeaning and an out-and-out abuse, which has to be squarely condemned.
That a few disabled are compelled into begging, reflects poorly on skewed
priorities of successive governments at the centre that have failed to
ameliorate the conditions of the vast mass of the disabled population.



When a NPRD delegation met the Minister for Minority Affairs Shri Muktar
Abbas Naqvi on January 5 2018 along with Shri T K Rengarajan, MP, seeking
removal of these discriminatory provisions, the Minister assured that he
would issue an advisory to the Haj Committee of India to review the
guidelines and “bring it in conformity” with the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities Act, 2016. He had also assured that “corrective action” will
be taken.



Even while the clause “Persons whose legs are amputated, who are crippled,
handicapped, lunatic or otherwise physically/mentally incapacitated” – are
ineligible to apply for Haj -- has been removed from the guidelines
uploaded on the website of the Haj Committee of India – that this was under
pressure, is quite obvious.



What is even more outrageous is that in its affidavit the government has
sought to defend the usage of this derogatory terminology. This is
unacceptable to say the least. Notwithstanding the use of patronizing terms
like *Divyang* to connote people with disabilities, the disabled continue
to be denied dignity, accommodation and recognition of their rights as
equal and productive citizens.

[AI] Nitin Sharma reports: New state policy assures jobs to medal winners in Haryana

[avinash shahi]

The Haryana government has approved a new policy proposing out-of-turn
appointments in Haryana Civil Services (HCS) and Haryana Police
Services (HPS),
apart from Group A, Group B and Group C jobs, to sportspersons who win
medals in Olympic games, world championships/Asian games, Commonwealth
games and
other sporting events.

The state, which accounted for 15 out of India’s 38 gold medals in
2010 Commonwealth Games followed by 22 out of the total of 64 medals
won by India in
2014 Commonwealth Games, has sent 31 athletes of the total 218 Indian
athletes in the ongoing Commonwealth Games.

The new policy, approved by Haryana’s cabinet on Tuesday, will
categorise the appointments under new seven categories defined by the
Haryana Sports and
Youth Affairs Ministry. “Indian players have the potential to be world
beaters and this policy will enable a sportsperson to have a security
of dignified
job corresponding to his achievement at world or continental level. In
a first, same equivalence will be given to performances in Paralympic
Games, Para
Asian Games, Commonwealth Games and World Cups as compared to open
category,” said Ashok Khemka, principal secretary, Haryana Sports and
Youth Affairs
ministry.

In the last five years, players like wrestler Geeta Phogat and boxer
Manoj Kumar have approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court for
out-of-turn appointments
on the basis of their medals in sporting events.

The new policy categorises the appointments in seven categories on the
basis of the performance in Olympic Games/World Championships/Asian
Games/Commonwealth
Games and other events. It will be also for the first time in India
that para-athletes from the state will also be eligible at par with
open category sports
persons under various categories. “We have been waiting for such a
policy for years. This is a historic step by the Haryana government
and has set an example
for the rest of the country. My silver medal in Rio Paralympics Games
has now become worth its weight and this step by Haryana government
will ensure financial
independence for the para athletes in the state. It will also motivate
players who have won medals at Asian or Commonwealth Games to achieve
more and do
the state proud,” said 47-year-old Haryana athlete Deepa Malik, who
won the silver medal in women’s shot put F-53 event in 2016 Rio
Paralympics Games.

2014 Asian Para Games gold medallist Amit Saroha too lauded the move.
Saroha (33), who belongs to Bayanpur village in Sonepat district, won
silver in club
throw in last year’s world para-athletics championships. “A lot of
para-athletes leave the sport mid-way in their career due to lack of
funds or job. This
policy will ensure medal winners in continental games and Olympic
games will not have to wait for a long time. The Haryana government
should also consider
land for academies for Asian games and World Championships
medallists,” said Saroha.

The policy also includes the criteria for players playing in team
games (5 or more players) in different events. Only Olympic
medallists, who are eligible
for out-of-turn appointments under the new policy but do not avail it,
will be eligible for land up to 10 acres to be provided on long-term
lease for opening
of sports academy in the state.

While neighbouring states of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh do not have a
specific sports policy, Haryana has become the first state in India to
have one.

“This has happened for the first time in India for team events and the
Haryana sports ministry has clearly defined the eligibility criteria
under various
games and events. Performances in quarter-finals or above in world
events will also be counted and appointments will be made respective
to the eligible
post,” said an official of Haryana Sports and Youth Affairs Department.
