Madam Temporary Speaker, the discrimination in South Africa is an open chapter when it comes to the future of other countrymen. We celebrated South Africa when it got its independence but right now, they have turned against us. Therefore, we need to bring a Motion to this House to discuss the conduct of South Africa. We also need to stop its diplomatic relations until we get an explanation---

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion by the able Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve on retirement age for PWDs. It is true PWDs face a lot of changes.

It is hard for people with disabilities, especially in rural areas, to acquire infrastructure or facilities to enable them to go back to their roadmap and work normally. This is ...
