Rights of persons with disabilities

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Indeed, the living conditions of people with disabilities in this country, especially in the rural areas of Sindh, are extremely pathetic. Our legislatures must do some soul searching and ensure that people living with disabilities enjoy the same rights as able-bodied people. These people should be provided with the right to education, training, employment and healthcare. The president, prime minister and respective chief ministers must initiate a series of face-to-face meetings with persons with disabilities from all over the country, encourage and console them as gifted people.
