Press Statement 27.02.2014 *DISABLE INJURED IN LATHI CHARGE* Today disabled people affiliated with All India Disabilities Alliance
presented a memorandum to the Indian President requesting him not to sign
the Ordinance on Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill as is being planned by the UPA Government. Thereafter, the Protestors moved to 24 Akhbar Road (Congress Headquarter) and wanted to meet the High Command. When after hours of wait, they could not meet any person in AICC, they decided to voluntarily and peacefully stage arrest. However, instead of arresting the Protestors, Police deployed severe Lathi Charge in which more than a dozen disabled persons have been severely injured. Following this event, fellow disabled have started coming to join hand in the struggle. Yours Sincerely, Vikas Gupta
