ECI celebrates #NationalVotersDay with ‘Accessible Elections’ as the theme but sadly at a disabled-UNFRIENDLY Manekshaw Centre 1/n pic.twitter.com/RSryS9KYUj— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 25, 2018
Isn’t it mockery of accessibility where Honble President of India is Chief Guest. Is the #a11y theme if ECI; PM’s Accessible India Canpaign only for name sake? 2/n pic.twitter.com/XJ5fQLwndf— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 25, 2018
No accessible stage either for National Awardees. Why the largest minority- people with disabilities- are always excluded in the largest democracy of the world 3/n pic.twitter.com/RRLdvwPYrS— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 25, 2018
No signages, no accessible washroom, no ramp on stage, entrance ramp without hand railings, dangerous ceilings for visually impaired 4/n pic.twitter.com/ftqhP9Oacu— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 25, 2018
Sadly neither President nor Law minister stressed on Accessible Elections for voters with disabilities 5/n— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 26, 2018
CEC mentioned that yesterday they had International Conference on inclusion of voters with disabilities. But where was the disability sector. ECI don’t talk about us, without us! 6/n— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 26, 2018
Access denied at EC event on accessible polls? https://t.co/6qY7r2eFsn— TOI Cities (@TOICitiesNews) January 25, 2018
Correction: Neither I said nor I endorse the derogatory ‘wheelchair-bound’ word as quoted in the story. Why is it so difficult to say ‘wheelchair user’ #DisabilityEtiquette— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 26, 2018
Thanks for the post, that looked very "accessible"
