    "content": " Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 19 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub clause (1) by deleting the word “qualified”; (b) in sub clause (2) (c) by deleting the word “solely”; (c) in sub clause (5) by— (i) deleting the words “a qualified” in paragraph (d) and substituting therefor the word “an”; (ii) deleting the words “a qualified” in paragraph (e) and substituting therefor the word “an”; (iii) deleting the words “a qualified” in paragraph (f) and substituting therefor the word “an”; (d) in sub clause (7) by — (i) inserting the following new subparagraph immediately after paragraph (a) (ii)— “(iii) payment of assistive allowances to employees with disabilities” (ii) deleting the words “for the known physical or mental or mental limitations of an employee with disabilities” appearing in paragraph (c) (iii) Hon. Chairman, this removes the redundant word “qualified” as it is expected that employers hire qualified persons irrespective of disability. Further, the amendment removes the superfluous words. The use of the word “solely” may imply that employers may discriminate employees on grounds other than disability. The law recognises that discrimination happens on multiple and interesting grounds. Persons with disabilities should be protected from discrimination on all these bases, Hon. Chairman."
