• 13 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity you have given me. I would like to just emphasise that it is important for the Senate Majority Leader to realise that issues of disability are issues of great concern.

We are in an age where we are talking about mainstreaming of PWDs and you can imagine between 10 to 15 per cent of the population being mainstreamed. The issue of poverty will still continue in the lives ... view

What is it that is making them lag behind when it comes to issues of disability? So, governors also need to be accountable ... view
