Demand to Make Rights of Disabled Justiciable

Resolution
Adopted at the 20th Congress of the CPI(M), Kozhikode, April 4-9, 2012
 
Demand to Make Rights of Disabled Justiciable
 
The 20th Congress of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) expresses its deep concern and anguish at the continued violation of the rights of persons with disabilities.
 
The recent incidents where disabled passengers were deboarded or humiliated is a case in point. Everyday thousands of disabled citizens face varying degrees of difficulties, harassment, humiliation when in public spaces because of the lack of facilities, insensitivity and stigma.
