Sanjrani for making parliament friendly to disabled people

ISLAMABAD, Apr 30 (APP):Chairman Senate Muhammad Sadiq Sanjrani was surprised to learn
that the Parliament of Pakistan was not disabled friendly despite the fact that
Pakistan is signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled persons.
The Chairman ordered that designated parking spots be
allocated immediately in the parking spaces of the Parliament precincts, said a
press release issued here Monday.
He also instructed the Secretary Senate that all access points within the
Parliament and the Parliament Lodges should be made disabled friendly and instructions
in this regard shall be forwarded to the relevant Government Departments.
He reiterated that it is our duty to look after and take care of
disabled people and their integration in the society should be our guiding
principle; this is not philanthropy but is a responsibility.
